London, United Kingdom St George's Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

St Georges University Hospital Urological Cancer Centre, London, is delighted to offer a senior Urological Robotic Fellowship commencing on 1st Oct 2025 for a period of 12 months. There is a possibility to continue for a further 12 months at the discretion of the Educational Supervisor and the Urology Care Group lead. This fellowship is a recognized Royal College of Surgeons (RCS). It is well established and has successfully trained numerous registrars and consultants to achieve Robotic Urology experience and competency, who have subsequently gone on to set up robotic urological programs in their practice.

Main duties of the job

The training is divided into three possible streams: prostatectomy, renal surgery and cystectomy /reconstruction and the training programme can be tailored to the fellow's needs.

The aims of training will be: competency in planning Urological Robotic Surgery; competency in operative steps according to published Modular Surgical Training for Laparoscopy and Robotics. Depending on which stream the fellow has chosen, they should be able to perform radical prostatectomy, radical nephrectomy and pyeloplasty independently and gain experience in partial nephrectomy, simple prostatectomy and cystectomy in the first year.

Audit and research will be a part of the training contract. In our experience this is integral to reflective learning and the programme has a duty of care to patients and the trust to be transparent in reporting outcomes, both surgical and patient related.

About us

The friendly and supportive department includes 7 robotically trained Consultants who perform a comprehensive range of robotic procedures. The department performs approximately 550 Robotic Urological Procedures per year. These are radical and simple prostatectomy; partial and radical nephrectomy; nephroureterectomy; radical and partial cystectomy and intracorporeal neobladder/ileal conduit formation; radical pelvic lymphnode dissection for pelvic cancers and penile cancers; reconstructive surgery (pyeloplasty, ureterolysis, ureteric reimplantation, ureteric stricture repair with buccal graft; pyelo and ureterolithotomy). The robotic team also support the expansion of the female and functional robotic program (robotic colposuspension, sacrocolpopexy, CLAM cystoplasty and Bladder Neck AUS) and work collaboratively with/mentor paediatric urology, gynaecology and general surgery.
