This is fixed term locum position to complement our already well-established team of Urology Consultants.

We are a forward thinking department, which strives to provide a service that is continually improving for our patients and staff alike. You will be working alongside experienced Consultant colleagues, who work very closely as a team in the truest sense of the word.  Our Urology Theatre, Day Surgery Ward provision, and Diagnostic Suite are located together, in the Bolton Centre of Urology (which was designed with the needs of the Urology patient in mind); and this has created a very flexible working environment for the entire Urology team to facilitate the smooth running of both elective and emergency work.

We operate the Consultant of the week model with each Consultant undertaking 1 hot week with out of hours cover and 1 cold week only covering the closed site inpatient emergency work during normal working hours. With this arrangement, the successful candidate will be participating in a 1:14 hot week on call rota.
