About the role

The Department of Urology is seeking a new full-time (10 PA) substantive Consultant. The successful candidate will join a dynamic, enthusiastic, and forward-thinking team working as part of the Guy's Urology Team in partnership with Lewisham and Greenwich Trust (LGT), to provide a 'Guy's Urology with LGT' service.

This initiative is the result of important strategic partnership and will deliver a new, shared clinical service between GSTT and LGT. The two organisations believe that working together will improve access, patient experience and equity for patients across South East London.

The partnership will operate on a hub-and-spoke model, with LGT serving as the primary site for local urology services primarily for Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley; GSTT will act as the hub for higher complexity procedures, with redistribution of appropriate procedures from GSTT to an agreed plan over time.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a first-class team in an active and progressive Central London teaching hospital environment.

The post will have clinical sessions at both Lewisham & Greenwich NHS trust and at Guy's & St. Thomas' NHS Trust in the Department of Urology, as part of the 'Guy's Urology with LGT' initiative.
