Urology Clinical Fellow

Job description

Job responsibilities

WHAT YOULL DO

The post would suit candidates who have completed basic training and wish to pursue a career in urology or more senior trainees looking for subspecialist training. The successful candidate would take part in the 1:8 middle grade on call rota.

At the more junior level you would get great benefit from the short stay and day case lists that occur in Lymington and at the Royal South Hants hospitals, as well as the experience of more complex procedures at University Hospital Southampton. The provision of a consultant of the week will allow excellent training and support, particularly for emergency work, and by the end of a year we hope to have transformed you into an excellent candidate for specialist training. For trainees at this stage, UHS has an excellent record in transitioning fellows onto NTN posts and conversation with previous fellows is encouraged.

A more senior candidate would benefit from exposure to the more complex operating found at this University Hospital. We provide high volume uro-oncology including Robotic Prostatectomy, Cryotherapy and HIFU, Radical Cystectomy and pelvic exenteration, Radical (incl IVC involvement)and partial Nephrectomy, Testis, RPLND and penile cancer. We provide tertiary andrology for Wessex and have a high volume stone unit, including paediatric stones and an onsite lithotripter. Our benign service includes many treatments for male LUTS including TURP, bipolar, HOLEP, PAE and Urolift.
