You will be supported by colleagues to promote the collective aims of the department and the development of multi-disciplinary teams with shared responsibility for the provision of care to our patients.
You will contribute to the development of clinical governance, using audit findings to improve the quality of treatment and to minimise clinical risk.
As a specialist leader in Urology, you will develop innovative working practices, and support the growing clinical contribution of non-medical staff.
