Main duties of the job
The Urology unit at Buckinghamshire provides general and specialist urology care for over half a million population and the area is one of the most rapidly expanding due to an active housebuilding programme in the Aylesbury area. The post generates general urology with a subspecialist interest in Pelvic Oncology as experience allows. There are opportunities to develop links with the neighbouring Oxford University Hospitals who are keen to set up an adolescent urology service and to setup a regional functional robotic surgical service. Experience in DGH level paediatric urology would be very welcome, depending on the candidate’s experience.
The Trust is a provider of surgical treatments for BPH, including bipolar TURP, Urolift, HoLEP, PAE and green light laser prostatectomy. We have a Da Vinci Xi surgical robot and offer a robotic cancer service with upper tract surgery and prostatectomy, specialist stone surgery including supine mini-PCNL. We transitioned to a local anaesthetic transperineal prostate biopsy service a few years ago and these are performed by both doctors and advanced nurse practitioners.
The National Spinal Injuries Centre, a world-famous centre for the management of patient with spinal injury is based at Stoke Mandeville Hospital where all colleagues support the spinal and urology surgeons provide the urological care for these patients.
