Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Urology team at Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, based at Broomfield Hospital. We are seeking an enthusiastic and skilled Consultant Urological Surgeon to support the continued development of our innovative and expanding service.
We are looking for a consultant with expertise in stone surgery and the ability to deliver a broad range of general urology services, including participation in the consultant on-call rota. An interest in paediatric urology would be advantageous.

Cross-site working provides access to specialist procedures, including PCNL surgery at Broomfield Hospital. All sites are equipped with Holmium laser technology, with Broomfield serving as the Trust's centre for complex stone management, supported by a weekly Complex Stone MDT and emergency lithotripsy service.

Participate actively in clinical audit, governance, quality improvement and service development initiatives to enhance patient care and departmental performance.
Provide supervision, teaching and training to junior medical staff and other healthcare professionals, supporting education and workforce development.
Work in partnership with the Clinical Director and General Manager to support the development, implementation and monitoring of business plans and strategic objectives for the Urology Service.
Working for our organisation
Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and well being of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
