aquablation and rezum and/or paediatric urology. An interest in urological
cancers, in particular prostate and bladder would be most welcome
We have a dedicated outpatient unit (UIU) at Paignton Hospital with space for outpatient clinics and procedures including TP Biopsy and TULA laser.
The successful candidates will assist in providing a comprehensive general and specialised urology service for the population of South Devon.

We are also looking to expand our paediatric urology service across both Torbay and the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, and a special interest in this would be welcomed. Both hospitals are a short distance apart served by excellent road links.
