Summary
A Vacancy at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust.
An opportunity has arisen to join our teams within Urology and General Surgery at Colchester and Ipswich Hospital.
The appointee will be based within the Urology department and will join 12 substantive and 3 locum consultants in the ESNEFT urology team with clinical commitments at both the Colchester and Ipswich sites. Current paediatric urological and surgical services have been provided by both urologists and general surgeons with an interest in paediatric surgery.

• Develop and maintain good working practices with wards, out-patients and the ED
• Collaborate and promote close working links with colleagues, other departments and primary care
• Offer educational, clinical support and leadership to junior medical colleagues, nursing colleagues and other members of the multi-disciplinary team.
• Ensure appropriate information is made available to staff to measure clinical performance and enable meaningful benchmarks to be established and evaluated within your area of responsibility
• Ensure there is a robust process for reviewing the quality of services provided, explaining the causes of success and failure and ensure the highest standards are maintained
• Provide a role model of professional leadership, which underpins the corporate values and behaviours agreed by the organisation, ensuring these are understood and demonstrated by the medical workforce within your area and take remedial action where poor behaviours are demonstrated
• Ensure that junior doctors training conforms to College requirements
