Job summary
In response to the increasing emergency demands of patients in the local community and the increasing number of referrals to the cancer pathway and benign conditions, the Trust has invested in a consultant-led, rather than a consultant-supervised clinical service as well as adhering to the London standards of Emergency care, including daily ward rounds for emergency admissions.

We are seeking to appoint a 6th Consultant within Urology department to join our multidisciplinary team on 1 year fixed term contract to provide a consultant led service to the population of NMUH.

The 6th Consultant Urologists will be taking part in a 1 in 6 on-call rota with prospective cover. In keeping with London Emergency standards and to maintain continuity of care, all patients will review daily by the on-call consultant.

This post is for 10 Programmed Activities (8.5 PAs direct clinical care and 1.5 PAs supporting professional activities). There is an expectation that by taking on other Trust-wide Service and Quality roles, 1 additional SPA will be allocated in place of a DCC. This would be subject to Divisional agreement.

Applications for less than full time working and job-sharing would be considered.

Main duties of the job
The following is not an exhaustive or exclusive list of the duties of a consultant. The appointee is expected to:

• Provide senior clinician services to both the Emergency Department and the Urology department and inpatient services as per job plan or as agreed within the Trust, and as required when on call.
• Work with consultant colleagues and nursing staff to ensure efficient use of Trust's resources and contribute actively to clinical governance in the department and to development of quality enhancement projects in the unit.
• Provide senior clinician services to area of special interest as per the job plan or as agreed within the Trust.
• Show flexibility and undertake different appropriate clinical tasks within allocated DCC sessions at the request of the clinical manager, as the need arises.
• Actively participate in the Unit's Teaching Programme and undertake supervision, teaching and training of medical trainees and other multi-professional staff, in line with guidance from the relevant Royal Colleges or specialty bodies.
• Actively participate in clinical guidelines development, audit and CPD.

About us
North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust is a medium sized District General Hospital based in Edmonton in Enfield, North London. We serve a diverse multicultural population largely from the London boroughs of Enfield and Haringey. Many of our patients live in wards that are within the 5% most deprived in the UK and a large proportion of our patients were born abroad. This makes it both a fascinating and a challenging hospital to work in.

Over the last decade we have rebuilt almost all of the hospital and now have facilities that we are proud to work in. We employ just over 3,000 staff, more than half of whom live locally. We encourage apprenticeships from the local community and work closely with our local Health Watch.

The Edmonton Infirmary opened in 1910 and replaced the Union Workhouse that had been founded on the site in 1842. It was renamed as North Middlesex Hospital in 1920. In 2011 our new building opened placing all of the hospital under a single roof for the first time. In 2013 our new maternity and neonatal unit were added.

We are primarily an emergency led hospital with more than 90% of our bed days being used for patients admitted via our emergency and ambulatory units. As well as offering everything you would expect from a major acute hospital we have a number of tertiary services treating patients with HIV and Sickle Cell Disease and a large cancer and radiotherapy service. We also run our local community Sexual Health Clinics.
