Job overview
The Department of Urology is expanding and re-organising to meet the changing regional and local requirement to provide sub specialisms and flexible local services. The new posts are partly in response to retirement and partly to allow the capacity to adequately train our existing Middle Grades. With the appointment of appropriate new members an on-call middle tier will be established to give emergency experience. New methods of working will allow for each member to gain experience according to their needs. We have historically supported all members to gain the MSc or FRCS in Urology.
The Urology department on the south bank comprises of 3 sites Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole District Hospital. Elective, outpatients and diagnostic services are caried out on all 3 sites with emergency patients centralised at SGH. The applicant, therefore, must be prepared to become part of a multi-team based team at one site moving to other sites for the purposes of training and service need.
Main duties of the job
The post would suite a good team player dedicated to high quality patient care. The opportunity exists to work in a non-hierarchical setting and offer a wide range of Urology procedures in this busy DGH
The post holder would also offer a supporting role as an assistant at the Cancer Centre for Southbank patients allowing exposure to major open & laparoscopic surgery.
