Job overview
Main duties of the job
Duties including covering elective (Wycombe) and emergency (Stoke Mandeville) activity. There are around 7 all day operating lists per week at Wycombe covering full ranges of elective urology including robotic, open, laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery. Attendance in theatre is programmed and the consultant team will provide hands-on teaching, so that the successful candidate will develop considerable operative competencies in all aspects of operative urology. The emergency service is consultant led, and involves daily ward rounds, in-patient reviews. There is a dedicated emergency list every Thursday morning, and access to the emergency list Monday to Friday as required. We offer input to the National Spinal Injuries Centre, and exposure to neuro-urology is available for interested applicants. The department offers LA transperineal biopsy exclusively for investigation of raised PSA, and experience with this would be welcome.
The post would be ideal for Pre-FRCS candidates with extensive registrar experience in Urology who would like the support of a helpful team of consultants in a busy unit. We would aim to build an ideal level of supervision and training around the successful candidates depending on seniority and experience. The candidate could pass through a variety of useful specialties heading towards subsequent CCT application. The post includes responsibilities aimed at management experience including rota coordination, quality improvement projects and teaching.
