We welcome applications for a Consultant Urological Surgeon to join a rapidly expanding, busy and innovative team of Consultants. 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 specialty, including Core Urology delivered through a high-volume District General Hospital.  Particular service priorities are endourology/stone surgery and paediatrics. 

Applicants are required to be on the general GMC Register and either on the Specialist Register or be within 6 months of CCT at the time of interview. 

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. With an increased demand to create structures of urinary tract stone service as outlined by GIRFT.  The successful applicants will be expected to work with other subspecialists across the Trust to deliver such a service and in a similar way, support the paediatric urology service. 

Start Date: For the new post, it is anticipated that the successful applicant will take up the post in or around October 2024. 

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 five 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 seven days a week IR support.
