Here at Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust we are looking to recruit a Clinical Fellow (ST3+ Level) in the department of Urology at our Southend Hospital site.
Southend University Hospital successfully bid for the Urology Specialist Cancer Centre in 2016, meaning that the Trust provides specialised surgery for patients across Essex with prostate, bladder and kidney cancer.
Centralising this specialist urological cancer surgery brings together clinical experts to share experience and further develop the service for the benefit of our patients.
This post will be due to commence as soon as possible.
The specialist surgeons and nurse specialists are supported by a network of clinical and administrative staff, both at Southend and across Essex, providing multi-disciplinary care and guiding patients through their complex pathways.
Joining this expanding team will provide invaluable experience within the field of complex urological cancers in addition to offering high quality multi-disciplinary team working.
The Trust now has access to provide Robotic Surgery which will enhance our service even further.
With a workforce of approximately 15,000 staff, we can now do more and go further in delivering health services to our local communities.
Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
Patients will experience improved care as well as fewer delays and cancellations. We are able to provide more once-in-a-lifetime specialist care region-wide. With our new trust size will come more opportunities for development, research, networking and innovation.
We aim to make the most of our skills and experiences so we can become the best we can be. As one organisation we will recruit the finest and retain more specialist staff due to more employment opportunities across our Trust.
