Job overview
North Cumbria Integrated Trust is seeking to appoint a Trust Registrar in Urology on a fixed term contract for 12 months.
The Urology Department currently consists of 6 Consultant Urologists and there has been recent approval for the creation of a middle grade workforce to support with the ongoing investment in the service. This will consist of 1 Specialty Registrar, 2 Trust Registrar, 2 Trust SHO, and 1 Advanced Care Practitioner. There are Physicians Associates that contribute to Urology and General Surgery across the surgical wards. The department is supported by 7 Urology Clinical Nurse Specialists, 2 Cancer Care Co-ordinators, and 1 Healthcare Assistant across Cumberland Infirmary (CIC) and West Cumberland Hospital (WCH). There are plans for a Urology Investigations Unit to open at CIC in January 2025. This will include several state of the art treatment rooms, clinic space and dedicated office suites and an addition of 2 x Urology Outpatient Nurses and 3 x Urology Healthcare Assistants.
The trust doctors will have a named educational supervisor and training plans will be tailored to individual personal development needs. IT and library resources are available for trainees and support is available from GMC recognised trainers. Departmental directorate meetings take place every 6 weeks and active participation in audit is expected.

Doctors will provide prospective cover for colleagues on approved annual and study leave.
Successful candidates will have responsibilities for the day-to-day care of all patients under the Urology Consultants at NCIC.
