The Department of Urology is expanding and reorganising to meet the changing regional and local requirements 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 carried 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.
As a senior employee of the Trust, the post-holder will work in close co-operation with, and support, other clinical, medical, professional, and managerial colleagues in providing high-quality healthcare to the Trust’s patients.

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. The appointee will be expected to deliver high-quality care to the patients presenting to the Department.
The appointee will participate in a 1:8 on-call rota covering Scunthorpe and Grimsby.
Additional Duties:
* The post holder accepts to also perform additional duties in occasional emergencies and unforeseen circumstances at the request of the appropriate Consultant in consultation where applicable with his colleagues.
* The post holder undertakes, exceptionally, to be available for such irregular commitments outside normal duties as are essential for continuity of patient care.
The post holder will be expected to attend the regular Multi-Disciplinary Audit Meetings. Research opportunities may be provided for research under the guidance of Consultants.
