Senior Fellow Endourology Urology

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Fellow to join our ever expanding Endourology team with East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.

The Endourology team is managed by two Consultants and we have a newly established Endourology Specialist Nurse also supporting the service.

The post-holder will join a dedicated and forward looking team, helping to deliver urology services across our two base hospitals in East Sussex. Most services are based at the Eastbourne District General Hospital with satellite out-patient and endoscopy clinics at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings. We provide a comprehensive urology service including regional cancer services, complex endourology, urogynaecology and reconstructive surgery. We also have dedicated state-of-the-art diagnostics in our new Urology Investigation Suite.

This post will focus on endourology and the renal stone service but there will be a requirement to support the general urology case load as well. We provide a high quality endourology service including flexible ureteroscopy, ultra-mini, mini and standard PCNL as well as combined approach procedures. We have an onsite lithotripsy service and an established referral framework including virtual clinics and MDT meetings. We have been recognised by GIRFT as an outstanding unit for renal stone management, although we are continually striving to improve and have a number of projects underway. We can offer a structured mentoring programme for ultrasound and x-ray guided renal access as well as full support for complex procedures. This post offers an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic team helping to provide a high quality service.

The appointee will be based at the Eastbourne District General Hospital integrating with The Conquest Hospital for the provision of outpatients and on call cross site cover. This may change depending upon service need.

We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work

We provide safe, compassionate and high quality care to half a million people living or visiting East Sussex. We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex, the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex. Our extensive services are provided by 7000 + members of staff working from acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye and Uckfield, over 100 community sites and in people’s own homes.

In 2020 the Care Quality Commission (CQC), rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being caring and effective. The Conquest Hospital and our Community Services are rated ‘Outstanding’. Eastbourne DGH rated ‘Good’.

In 2020, the Trust launched its ambitious ‘Building for our Future’ programme. This once in a lifetime programme aims to repair, redevelop and expand our hospitals, transforming the environment in which we provide care for generations to come.
