Summary
A Vacancy at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
We are excited to advertise a regional 2yr RCS Senior Clinical Fellowship in Paediatric Urology between Bristol Children’s Hospital, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Southampton Children’s Hospital. In this post starting in April 2026, you will spend one year in Bristol and then one year in Birmingham. You will be trained across the full spectrum of sub-specialty paediatric urology.
ABOUT THE TEAM
All three centres offer a regional service, covering Wessex, the South West and the Midlands, and offering a full range of tertiary level paediatric urology care, including renal transplantation (in Bristol and Birmingham) and elective renal stone management (Southampton and Birmingham). The only service not offered is bladder exstrophy, but through good links with the centres performing these procedures we can facilitate experience of these cases for you. All three centres have a strong track record of research and publications with around 75 publications in the last 5 years. We work collaboratively on local national and international projects and will run regular regional research meetings three times a year between the centres.
Your job plan for each centre will include at least 3 operative sessions per week, regular video-urodynamics, 1-2 clinics per week (including general paediatric urology and MDT clinics), teaching sessions weekly. Depending on the centre monthly specialised clinics include urotherapy (Bristol), transplant (Birmingham, Bristol), DSD (all centres), combined urorectal, nephro-urology, transition clinics (Bristol, Southampton). There are weekly nephro-urology X-ray MDTs (all centres) and fortnightly stones MDTs (Southampton).
You will also participate in the paediatric surgery and urology on call rota in each centre.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• You must have FRCS (Paed Surg) or FRCS (Urol) (or approved international equivalent) and be in or have completed your final year of training (ST8) by the time of employment
• Evidence of interest in paediatric urology above that of the average trainee in paediatric surgery
• Experience of audit, research and teaching
• Leadership and initiative
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 different sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England. UHBW has been rated by the CQC as ‘Good’ overall and our staff are proud to deliver excellent care to the people of Bristol, Weston and beyond. As a forward- thinking multi-award winning Trust and a digital exemplar committed to improving patient care, our world-leading research and innovations are having a positive local and global impact. Our hospitals are spread across Bristol and Weston, join us and you can enjoy the very best of both worlds; city living within a stone’s throw of the countryside or beside the seaside, both with easy access to all that the South West has to offer. UHBW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. As an equal opportunities employer actively working towards a diverse workforce we aim to recruit and retain a workforce which represents the rich diversity of the local population at all levels and are committed to designing our services around the needs of individual patients and those around them. Anonymous information will be used from your application in order to ensure we’re meeting our pledge.
One third of the clinical work in paediatric surgery in the UK is paediatric urology. Each paediatric surgery centre will require at last one paediatric urologist. This post will provide you with sub-specialty training to be able to deliver tertiary paediatric urology care independently as a Consultant.
