Summary
This post would suit candidates (including Out Of Programme
Trainees) wishing to pursue a career in renal transplant surgery or
someone weighing up career options in general / vascular / transplantation surgery,
or urology. This post will provide an excellent
opportunity to expand knowledge in pre/post-operative management
of renal transplant patients and to develop basic general
surgical/vascular/urological/multi-organ retrieval operative skills. There
is provision to improve academic portfolios and support those wishing
to obtain CESR applications. There will be an opportunity to have
allocated time for clinical research and quality improvement projects,
that will lead to abstracts and publications. The postholder will be
supervised by a consultant transplant surgeon and work in a multidisciplinary team. There is an excellent working relationship between
surgeons and physicians and care is shared between the teams.
The surgical team provides renal transplantation, dialysis access,
urological and general surgery for patients with renal failure, as well
as delivering National Organ Retrieval Service (NORS). The post also
includes responsibility for the supervision and training of the junior
staff and teaching medical students at UCL.
Terms and conditions of service are as for ST3+ / Clinical Fellows.
The average hours of duty are 48 hours per week. The post holder will
participate in out-of-hours cover for renal transplant surgery and multiorgan retrieval, and will be paid accordingly.
The successful candidate will join a team of six consultant transplant surgeons, one higher surgical trainee, four senior clinical fellows, and 3 academic fellows, a core surgical trainee and an FY1. We perform over 120 kidney transplants per year for the end-stage renal population of the North Central London sector. A major component of the job will be multi-organ retrieval (liver, pancreas, small bowel, kidney) with the National Organ Retrieval Service. A number of consultants have interests in other areas, for example urology (laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy, ureteric reconstruction, general urology), general surgery and specialist dialysis access surgery.
You will be expected to contribute to an on-call rota to cover our emergency service and will take turns with other trainees to attend operating lists, clinics and ward rounds. The renal surgery department is closely integrated with the transplant nephrology team, with whom we have an excellent relationship. Ward rounds are conducted jointly, providing a fantastic learning environment for the interested trainee. Furthermore, we have opportunities for both short and long term research, including leading to a higher degree thanks to our links with UCL and the newly built Pears institute of transplant and immunology.
The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s biggest and most innovative trusts. Across three main hospitals, our dedicated army of staff care for over 1.6million patients, treat more than 200,000 in A&E, deliver over 8,000 babies and carry out more than 17million tests.
Our size, scale and influence offer you unrivalled career opportunities and a forward-thinking approach to working that works around your lifestyle. From flexible hours and generous benefits, to next level training, we make it easier to take your career to the top

The successful candidate will work closely with the consultant surgeons, other middle grades, junior doctors, physician associates, and clinical nurse specialists in the care of recent and established renal transplant and in the care of other renal patients undergoing surgical procedures. There is an excellent working relationship between surgeons, physicians and nurses.
The surgical team provides live and deceased renal transplantation, all aspects of dialysis access, and urological surgery for patients with renal failure, as well as contributing to multi-organ retrieval surgery as part of the National Organ Retrieval Service. In addition, there may be opportunities for exposure to aspects of vascular surgery such as complex access surgery and urological reconstruction. The post also includes responsibility for the supervision and training of the junior staff and teaching medical students.
The on-call rota provides cover for both renal transplant surgery as well as the urology department on a 1 in 6 basis. The on-call commitments will therefore incorporate emergency transplant activity and care of the renal failure population. This rota will be EWTD and New Deal compliant.
The trainees/fellows alternate onto a separate multi-organ retrieval rota.
There are excellent research facilities and the successful candidate will be expected to be involved in research and, if appropriate, experimental research within the department in the field of renal transplantation.
Support with career progression will be given.
The postholder will have the following duties: -
• Out-patient clinics
• In-patient and day case operating lists
• Care of renal transplant, vascular access and transplant urological emergencies
• Attendance at multidisciplinary meetings
• Participation in the audit and governance activities of the departmen
