Robotic and Laparoscopic Fellow in Urology

Senior Clinical Fellow

Job overview

The Urology Service is excited to advertise for a senior Robotic and Laparoscopic Fellow on a 6 or 12 month fixed term basis set to start in August 2024.

The Nottingham Urology Service is delivered across Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) and Nottingham City Hospital (NCH) campuses, based in the Department of Urology at NCH.  Nottingham Urology Centre has three urology theatres as well as state-of-the-art outpatient facilities, including diagnostic suites, flexible cystoscopy and TRUS diagnostic suites and an on-site lithotripter. 

This is an exciting subspecialist training opportunity suitable for trainees nearing the end of urology training, or post-CCT. The post will be initially for 12 months, although timescale may be tailored to the specific needs of the successful applicant. The uro-oncology service in Nottingham is delivered by 5 subspecialist urological surgeons including 4 robotic surgeons, currently performing approximately 200 robotic cases per year. The post will comprise 3 full days of operating with experienced robotic surgeons, and will follow a modular training programme towards a primary aim of developing certified competence for independent practice in robotic prostatectomy. There will also be opportunities for exposure to robotic partial nephrectomy, robotic pyeloplasty, robotic cystectomy, laparoscopy nephrectomy and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy.
