Description

Following a planned reconfiguration of services to develop a combined North and Clyde Urology team there is an opportunity to appoint a suitably trained individual to provide both an emergency and elective Urological service at consultant level.

The elective sessions relating to the posts will be delivered within a Hub and Spoke model.

The emergency component of the post will be delivered across the North and Clyde Sector through an integrated consultant rota.

The successful applicant will join an existing team of 14 Substantive Consultant Urologists in providing comprehensive urological care to the population of North Glasgow and Clyde, Argyll and the Islands.

The North & Clyde Consultant team offers a wide range of general and specialist urology care.

There are established subspecialist services which include the regional penile cancer and andrology service, endourology (with an on-site lithotripter in Glasgow Royal Infirmary), prostate diagnostics and management of BPH (including Rezum and HolEP) and bladder cancer teams in addition to providing urological support for the regional sarcoma and complex pelvic surgical services.

This post offers an exciting opportunity for an applicant with special interest that complements both the applicant and the department.

You will be expected to develop a subspecialty interest and to provide a general and emergency urology service.

The combined North & Clyde Urology service has an infrastructure of inpatient theatres, designated Urology wards, a bespoke diagnostic area for the provision of TRUS and Cystoscopy, and access to Day surgery theatres and Clinics across both sectors.

All newly qualified Consultants are initially offered a minimum of 1 Core Supporting Professional Activity (SPA) which includes CPD, audit, clinical governance, appraisal, revalidation, job planning and management meetings.

This will be reviewed within 6 months (or earlier if required) of appointment and revised upwards if additional responsibilities are agreed.
