Consultant Urological Surgeon

Applications are invited for the post of a Consultant Urological Surgeon with a Specialist Interest in BPH management and Superficial Bladder Cancer. This a full time post comprising of 10 programmed activities (PAs).

The Urology service at UHL currently provides all urological activity – including all sub-specialties - for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, and is a tertiary referral centre for cancer, andrology, stones and female urology.

Urology currently has 6 NTN StRs and 18 Core/Foundation level Doctors who are employed on a rotational basis.

We have a dedicated team of Clinical Nurse Specialists providing continence care, diagnostics (flexible cystoscopy, laser, urodynamics, LATP biopsies) and support to the stone and andrology teams.

There is a separate team of dedicated Cancer CNSs who provide support to patients during their diagnosis and subsequent pathway. They provide nurse-led follow-up for low/intermediate risk bladder cancer and treated kidney cancer.

We have two physician associates who alternate to provide consistent bedside support for robotic cases. They also provide active surveillance clinics for small renal masses and prostate cancer and support the andrology service.

We have a progressive research unit and currently participate in a number of national trials, including in kidney cancer. We are leading a national multicentre trial in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Maintenance of the highest clinical standards in the management of patients.

To share with colleagues responsibility for the day-to-day management of patients.

To promote new ways of working and co-ordinating care for patients in the community and to ensure that services are based on effective and integrated partnerships across the health community.

Take part in multidisciplinary case conferences.

Supervise and train junior medical staff

To be involved in appraising and assessing juniors.

Teaching, research and administration.

To proactively develop the service.

To actively participate in both departmental and Trust matters concerning Clinical Governance and audit.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
  
  

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
  
  

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
