Consultant Urologist

Role Overview This is your chance to become part of a dedicated team committed to providing care that is patient‑centred, safe and clinically effective. However, it won’t just be the health of our patients that will improve when you join us – this will be a move that will benefit you as an individual. We are looking for a Consultant Urologist to join our department as Consultant (currently 9 in total with future expansion planned). We are a well‑established Urology Unit in the 3rd biggest health board in Scotland, serving a large population area. We have a dynamic, expanding department of consultants with all sub‑specialist interests and excellent support from 24‑hour senior middle grade (including 3 STRs from West of Scotland Training Rotation) and junior middle grade cover. It’s an excellent opportunity for a newly trained consultant or an established consultant looking for a new challenge. Our consultants provide a comprehensive breadth of Urological sub‑specialist services including Endo‑Urology, Upper tract Laparoscopy, Pelvic Oncology and General Urology. We have started Robotic Pelvic Surgery using a Da Vinci Robotic system based in University Hospital Hairmyres and have invested in other areas like a Thulium laser in addition to 2 existing Holmium lasers in the department.

Work within NHS Lanarkshire’s three acute sites with Urology centralised to University Hospital Monklands. Provide out‑patient nurse, medical and diagnostic sessions at University Hospital Wishaw and Hairmyres and handle on‑call and inpatient operating primarily at University Hospital Monklands, with occasional lists at the two other sites. Plan and deliver full‑time work (10 PA, including up to 2 non‑DCC). However, applications for less than full‑time or for additional SPA time may be considered for those with well‑developed ideas for improving services and demonstrating commitment to quality improvement, patient safety, medical education, research, development, appraisal, etc. Qualifications and Requirements Full registration and license to practice with the GMC. Clinical and procedural competence in urology with experience in BPH management preferred. Commitment to high standards of patient care, safety, and continuous improvement.
