  • Oversee the daily care of a cohort of patients in close partnership with urology consultants.
  • Function as an independent practitioner in the discharge process for patients undergoing specific urological assessments, ensuring timely reviews and discharges of clinically stable inpatients to optimize patient flow.
  • Serve as a knowledgeable resource in both educational and clinical settings.
  • Engage in collaborative research and audit initiatives within secondary healthcare.
  • Contribute to the formulation and implementation of policies, procedures, and clinical protocols.
