Found in: Talent UK C2 - 7 days ago


Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

Job Details

The Department of Transplantation & Hepatobiliary Surgery at Leeds Teaching Hospitals is offering an exciting opportunity to appoint a Senior Clinical fellow in Renal Transplantation and General Surgery.

This post will provide training in renal transplant and elective general surgery. There will also be exposure to laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, en-bloc and dual renal transplantation, live donor implantation, and paediatric renal transplantation. There is also the opportunity for training in abdominal sarcoma surgery and multi-organ retrieval.

The training can be tailored to individual needs and, given the variety of opportunities, the post would be particularly suitable for those looking to consolidate their experience prior to entering higher surgical training or prior to applying for Consultant posts.

The Renal Transplant unit in Leeds is one of the busiest in the UK, performing around 200 transplants annually. It also has a large live kidney donor programme, performing around 60 live donor transplants per year, and is one of two centres nationally designated to perform renal transplants from donors less than 2 years of age. The paediatric renal transplant programme performs 10-15 transplants per year. Leeds has a reputation for short waiting times for transplant, driven by the use of marginal donors, resulting in a high proportion of dual and en-bloc renal transplants.
