Job description
Job responsibilities
The post-holder will be expected to participate fully in the clinical work of the department, providing high standards of care for both in-patients and outpatients. The usual working hours are 0800 to 1700 hours. This job does not offer an on-call banding but for those with experience an opportunity to join the surgical SHO shift could be negotiated. Out of hours patients are seen initially by the general surgical SHO on-call and referred to the middle grade urological cover who is on-call from home from Royal London Hospital. Patients staying in Newham University Hospital overnight are handed over by the surgical SHO at 0800 hours.

The responsibility of the hand-over, ward round, in-patient care and clerking of the emergency patients with the support of the on-call registrar and the help of the foundation year trainee, will be the prime job. Safe hand-over (virtual or face to face) of the patients admitted over night or staying over the weekend will be the post-holders responsibility. This will be shared with the foundation year trainee.

The appointee will be given the opportunity and will be encouraged to gain experience in core and diagnostic Urology, besides acute Urological emergencies, which will be helpful in progressing to speciality training. A tailored clinical programme to help out-patients clinic work, helping pre- aesthetic assessment clinics, helping with flexible cystoscopies and part-taking in day case surgeries is in place.
