We are looking to appoint a high-quality individual to join a rapidly expanding, busy and innovative team of Consultants as Maternity Cover. As a department we have clear goals to increase our profile in Clinical and Academic Urology. The appointment of this Consultant post would supplement the workload of existing Consultants across the breadth of the subject including Core Urology as delivered through a high-volume District General Hospital. Particular service priorities are endourology / stone surgery and paediatrics., Please note that any provisional timetable will be flexible and the post holder will be expected to see new patients as well as operating on patients from the waiting list. Sessions will be a mixture of fixed and flexible and may require you to work on a Saturday.

The post holder will be expected to see new patients and follow up outpatients whilst maintaining expecting new to follow up ratios, they will be expected to operate on patients from their own and a pooled waiting list and may be required to work at any facility that the trust owns, leases or manages.

The post offered is for a Consultant Urological Surgeon with 10 programmed activities. These sessions will be wherever the Trust delivers its services, but the majority of the work will be at Frimley Park Hospital and cover a scope of work as required by the department.

Start Date: This post is a fixed term post for Maternity Cover, with a start date 1stMarch 2025 for a 6-month period.

The Department of Urology has grown rapidly in the last few years and is a member of the Surgical Directorate, well known in the region for providing excellent patient care as well as exceptional training for the specialist registrars and junior doctors. The Department of Urology enjoys close links with The Royal Surrey County Hospital (RSCH), with a weekly joint Specialist MDT for prostatic, bladder, testicular and penile cancers. There is a Specialist Renal Cancer MDT hosted at Frimley Park Hospital and a biweekly remotely accessed cross site stone MDT.

At the brand new, state of the art, Heatherwood hospital in Ascot, we have a dedicated Urology Investigation Unit incorporating sub-speciality clinics, an investigation unit and our 5 day a week lithotripsy service. Other services provided include flexible cystoscopy, urodynamics, Precision Point prostate biopsies, TULA, PTNS, intradetrusor BOTOX and a tertiary referral service of SYNERGO hyperthermia treatment for bladder cancer.

At present all urology day case and in-patient surgery takes place at Frimley Park Hospital supported by a clinically responsive ITU/HDU team. Additional day case operating lists are soon to start on the Heatherwood site we hope. The Radiology department provides excellent support and its facilities are in the process of being extended and refurbished. There is 7 days a week IR support.
