Guy's Urology Centre is a large, dynamic and innovative urology department which has, as its primary ethos, improvement in patient care. We have developed specialist services in diagnostics, oncology, stone disease, andrology, and incontinence, and have an excellent track record for training surgeons in sub-specialist urology.

For a number of years we have run a successful fellowship programme, preparing surgeons for independent practice in the UK or abroad.

Please note that successful completion of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is our accepted minimum language requirement.

Main duties of the job

The Andrology Service is well developed, providing a highly specialist tertiary referral practice in all aspects of surgical andrology and genito-urethral reconstruction. Guy's is one of the highest volume penile implant centres in London, managing patients with refractory erectile dysfunction and complex Peyronie's disease, and includes an emergency regional implant service for refractory priapism. Our team also provides a regional emergency service for all other aspects of andrological care. Patients are managed in specialist andrology clinics, which include a dedicated andrology MDT with uro-radiological support.

We also provide a regional service for anterior urethral stricture disease, and run a dedicated specialist urethral clinic and MDT. The Adult Andrology team also supports the Paediatric Urologists at The Evelina Hospital in managing urethral strictures, and colleagues in the Young Onset Urology (YOU) Team, who provide lifelong care for patients who have been treated for paediatric urological conditions.
