Consultant Endourologist

We require a Consultant to join the Department of Urology at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust. 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.

A wide range of staff benefits are available to our staff including staff development, enrolment in the NHS pension scheme, auto-enrolment to our Temporary Workforce Service, access to nurseries at EDGH and Conquest, staff restaurants and on-site staff accommodation.

In addition to an internal Occupational Health department, all staff also have access to free psychological support through our confidential Employee Assistance Programme which is available to staff 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Onsite parking is available from only £30 a year.

This post offers an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic team helping to provide a high quality service.
