Summary
A Vacancy at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
We are looking for a dynamic individual to join our team of friendly, supportive urology consultants. The successful candidate will join a team of five established subspecialist stone surgeons covering Nottingham University Hospitals and Sherwood Forest Hospitals. The role will primarily be to treat adult and paediatric stone disease but there will also be a general adult and paediatric urology component. This service receives referrals from the wider Nottinghamshire area and tertiary referrals from further afield and will require cross site working patterns including Sherwood Forest Hospitals. There is a well-established weekly stone and paediatric MDT meeting, on site lithotripter, hot ureteroscopy and ESWL services as well as PCNL. We also have a well-established paediatric stone service with Nottingham Children’s Hospital. The general urology service includes day case ureteroscopy, TURBT and TURP. General paediatric urology will be performed at Sherwood Forest Hospitals.
The Departments of Urology and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust (SFH) provide urological services to a population of approximately 1.4 million. The urology team currently consists of 15 consultants at NUH and 5 consultants at SFH providing a full range of services. The Unit at NUH comprises 5 Urology StRs, 2 clinical fellows, 1 research fellow, a complex upper tract, stone and robotic post-CCT fellows. At SFH there is 1 StR along with 3 other Urology middle grades. We have Clinical Nurse Specialists in Cancer, Andrology and Stones and we are in the process of recruiting into Female urology. The Advanced Nurse Practitioners help independently run the prostate cancer, haematuria and LUTS clinics. We have recently recruited Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) who will also help in the emergency pathway. Nottingham is the East Midlands’ Major Trauma Unit.
Every day, our teams at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) make a difference. We save lives, we improve lives and we usher in new life. We are proud to play a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of people in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and our surrounding communities.
We provide a range of national and internationally renowned specialist services and we are at the forefront of new surgical procedures and research programmes.
As a teaching hospital, we are instrumental in the education and training of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. We are proud of our strong relationships with universities across the East Midlands, including the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University and Loughborough University.
As one of the NHS Trusts identified in the New Hospital Programme, a programme of investment in NHS hospitals, we have extensive plans to improve our hospitals and the services we deliver for patients. As well as the redevelopment of the Queen’s Medical Centre and City Hospital, plans for a new 70 bed NHS rehabilitation facility set to be built on the Stanford Hall Rehabilitation Estate near Loughborough, are currently going through the approvals process.
This is an exciting time to join NUH and help support our future ambitions.
The departments of Urology at NUH and SFH are committed to a long-term partnership and as such the candidate will be expected to participate in a combined cross-site on-call rota. The Urology Department at City Campus, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is accommodated in the Urology Centre, which consists of a dedicated Outpatients Department with facilities to undertake flexible cystoscopies and TRUS/LATP biopsies, a lithotripter suite, three urology operating theatres including dedicated Stone and Robot theatres as well as office accommodation. There are also dedicated emergency and male urology wards. Services are also provided at the Nottingham Treatment Centre, located on the QMC campus.
