About the role

We are looking to appoint a high-quality individual to join a rapidly expanding, busy and innovative team of consultants. As a department we have clear goals to increase our profile in Clinical and Academic Urology. The appointment of this Consultant post would supplement the workload of existing Consultants across the breadth of the specialty, including Core Urology delivered through a high-volume District General Hospital. Particular service priorities are to lead the bladder cancer service and become a key member of the prostate cancer team. Applicants are required to be on the general GMC Register and either on the Specialist Register or be within 6 months of CCT at the time of interview. The post offered is for a Consultant Urological Surgeon with 10 programmed activities. These sessions will be wherever the Trust delivers its services, but the majority of the work will be at Frimley Park Hospital.
