Summary
A Vacancy at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
This appointment is suitable for a trainee wishing to gain further urological experience prior to applying for higher surgical training in urology.
Applicants should ideally have a minimum of 1 years’ experience in post foundation urology training and must have FRCS / MRCS or equivalent. The successful candidates will ideally be competent in many aspects of core urology. However, an exceptional less experienced candidate, committed to a urological career would be considered and suitable changes to duties and supervision levels would be arranged.
The duties of the post will be broadly to support the provision of elective and emergency urological care to the people of the borough of Wigan on both an in-patient and out-patient basis.
More specifically, duties will include ward rounds, provision of emergency cover at the main in-patient site for the trust (RAEI, Wigan), MDT attendance and participation, supervised and unsupervised operating (in keeping with experience and competencies), out-patient clinics, and diagnostic procedures. Additionally, there will be some teaching duties and all departmental members are expected to contribute to the service development, audit and governance activities.
The on-call rota will be 1:8 which will be non-resident
Duties will be carried out under the direction of the Consultant Urological Surgeons. The appointee will be required to provide and support urological services for WWL, and will be responsible for:
• Providing clinical care to in patients and out patients.
• Participating in the management of patients with urological disease.
• Operating on patients in supervised and unsupervised capacity within competencies.
• Contributing to and participating in the development of the service (including audit, governance & teaching activities).
This is a service post and as such applicants must demonstrate the ability and willingness to work flexibly within their competencies and at lower levels of supervision for periods when one or more consultants are on leave. However significant training opportunities will be provided and the unit has an excellent record of doctors having successful National training applications.
Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are the proud providers of acute hospital and community services to the people of the Wigan Borough and surrounding areas. At WWL, we value our staff believing that ‘happy staff, makes for happy patients’. We have a recognised track record in staff engagement, and living our values ‘the WWL Way’.
WWL are committed to placing the patient at the heart of everything we do, and in the provision of safe, effective care that acknowledges and ensures dignity. With this in mind we are seeking to recruit people who share our values and beliefs.
At WWL we value the benefits a rich and diverse workforce brings to our community and therefore welcome applications from all sections of society.
• The Clinical fellow will be responsible for the urology in patients and will participate in a shared middle grade timetable to carry out daily ward rounds with the other Clinical Fellows/Specialty doctors in the morning at The Royal Albert Edward Infirmary.
• Will carry out any emergency surgery after consultation with the Consultants, under supervision when required.
• Assist in the day to day activity of the urology department. This will include attending the Consultants’ Out-patient clinics, carrying out operative procedures (supervision level depending on the experience) and invasive investigations.
• Additionally at all times a Clinical Fellow/Specialty Doctor will be at RAEI during normal working hours to provide emergency urology cover.
• The on call cover is 1 in 8 as are hot weeks. The on call is a reciprocal shared on call with a neighbouring trust, such that we only accept emergency admissions on alternate weeks. Appointees will only be required to provide cover at WWL, but may need to provide telephone advice to the neighbouring trust when on call out of hours.
•
The appointees will have an all day theatre list as part of their working week when not on hot week duties (except in exceptional circumstances when theatre lists are cancelled eg during Industrial action).
