Locum Consultant Urology

3 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

We are delighted to have the opportunity to offer two Locum Consultant Urologist positions for a period of 1 year.

The Urology service is at an exciting crossroads at Lewisham & Greenwich Trust, whereby we are currently redesigning the service we provide to our patients of South East London. We are exploring options to develop a state-of-the-art modern Urology Investigation Unit (UIU), to complement the new High Volume Surgical Hub (HVSH) being built on the Lewisham site for all patients in the sector in 2024.

We are therefore looking for two motivated and skilled individuals to join our busy, friendly, and innovative department. Excellent communication and team working is essential, particularly given that our consultants work across both our busy acute sites - University Hospital Lewisham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The successful postholder(s) will be pivotal in making decisions on the future direction of the service, working closely with our colleagues at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, so a prior background in leading service redesign would be a bonus (but not essential).

Whilst these two positions are fixed term in the first instance, we will be looking to further develop our workforce in 2024 as part of the HVSH work.

Main duties of the job

We are seeking to recruit two, full time, Locum Consultant Urologists to commence as soon as possible.

The postholder(s) will be offered a 10 PA locum contract with Urology (theatre sessions on both sites/outpatient clinics) per week. Postholder(s) will play an integral part in delivering and developing an excellent Urology Surgery service. Postholder(s) will be responsible for the admission and ward care of patients, operate in theatres, run outpatient clinics, MDTs, initiate and complete Audits, and participate in Research Trials (ongoing as well as help initiate new projects).

Both of these roles have on-call commitments (see 'about us' section below for specifics).

The postholder(s) need to have a major interest in Urology surgery and will provide support to the Junior Urology team within LGT.

The Urology department has an expectation that during this placement you will take part in clinical governance, M&M and present the findings to your colleagues and other departments.

The ability to communicate and work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team is vital. It is also anticipated that the successful candidates would contribute to increasing the regional and national profile of the department.

About us

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a community focused provider of local and acute care, providing high quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley. With a turnover of around £700 million, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham and a range of community settings in Lewisham. We also provide some services at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup.

Our people are our greatest asset. When we feel supported and happy at work, this positivity reaches those very people we are here for, the patients. Engaged employees perform at their best and our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) initiatives contribute to cultivate a culture of engagement. We have four staff networks, a corporate EDI Team and a suite of programmes and events which aim to insert the 5 aspirations:

Improving representation at senior levels of staff with disabilities, from black, Asian, and ethnic minorities background, identify as LGBTQ+ and women, through improved recruitment and leadership development Widening access (anchor institution) and employability Improving the experience of staff with disability Improving the EDI literacy and confidence of trust staff through training and development Making equalities mainstream Job description
