    Job description

    Job responsibilities

    At the more junior level you would get great benefit from the short stay and day case lists that occur in majority at the Clatterbridge site, as well as the experience of more complex procedures at the Arrowe Park site. The provision of a consultant of the week will allow excellent training and support, particularly for emergency work, and by the end of a year we hope to have transformed you into an excellent candidate for specialist training.

    A more senior candidate would benefit from exposure to the more complex operating found at this University Hospital. We provide high volume uro-oncology including Robotic Prostatectomy, Cryotherapy, Radical Cystectomy and pelvic exenteration, Radical and partial Nephrectomy and penile cancer. We also provide stone surgery and our benign service includes many treatments for male LUTS including TURP, bipolar, HOLEP, PAE and Urolift.
