Job description

A Vacancy at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

As a Consultant Urologist with a specialist interest in Gender Affimation Surgery (GAS), the post-holder must be interested in developing their expertise in performing primary and revision surgeries for service users. If the post-holder has not completed the required volume of primary surgeries, they will receive training and supervision from suitably qualified surgeons to perform GAS independently to support the long‑term sustainability of the workforce. Outpatient clinics will be provided for patients referred for GAS and will include a mixture of face‑to‑face and virtual (telephone/video) consultations. The post-holder will also contribute to the specialist GAS MDT and the out‑of‑hours cover arrangements for patients undergoing GAS.

The role will require close working with other colleagues in the Trust as well as allied organisations as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to quality improvement, research and management of the service. It is anticipated that the post-holder will engage in specific management tasks and contribute to service meetings as required.

• Deliver outpatient clinics, diagnostic procedures and theatre lists to support the service
• Attendance at MDT meetings
• Participation in audit, research and governance activities of the department
• Ensure compliance with national commissioning standards and waiting time targets
• Support subspecialisation in the department by appropriate cross referral to colleagues
• Provide consultant care at an early stage to patients presenting to secondary care with presumed urological complications of gender surgery
• Contribute to the routine care of GAS inpatients, rotating this responsibility with colleagues
• Promote early and safe discharge of patients
• Strong commitment to the organisation and delivery of training
