An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Specialty Doctor post in the Urology Department at Furness General Hospital, working with a supportive and friendly team.
The post includes on-call duties, assisting in theatre, and supporting clinicians in clinics. Day-to-day work will cover outpatient, elective, and emergency aspects of the service.
This post is not a training post, but the team will provide support with training for diagnostic procedures such as local anaesthetic prostate biopsies.
As we operate from three main hospitals, there is an expectation of cross-site travel, so a driving license and a car are essential.
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our team.
The post, including on-call commitment, would cover clinical duties across our sites. The post holder will be expected to support the urology services offered by the Trust and provide the highest quality of care to the local population.
The post holder will be supported by our Consultants and urology specialist nurse practitioners, with ward support provided by the Matrons.
The post holder will be supported to participate in medical audits and continuing medical education, including self-development and maintaining accreditation. Regular appraisal will be undertaken by the lead responsible for these services.
We operate from three main hospitals: Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, along with community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.
FGH and RLI offer a range of general hospital services, including Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units, and various Consultant-led services.
WGH provides general hospital services, an Urgent Treatment Centre, and can handle non-life-threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
All three hospitals provide planned care services, including outpatient clinics, diagnostics, therapies, day case, and inpatient surgery, along with outreach services across Morecambe Bay.
For more information about the role and responsibilities, please refer to the Job Description and Person Specification under the supporting documents.
