Urology Senior Clinical Fellow: Upper Tract Oncology
Senior Clinical Fellow
Job overview
The service is excited to advertise for a Senior Urology Clinical Fellow in Upper tract Oncology aiming to start in August 2025.
This is an exciting subspecialist training opportunity, suitable for trainees nearing the end of urology training, or already post-CCT. The post will be initially for twelve months, although the timescale may be tailored to the specific needs of the successful applicant.
The Uro-Oncology service in Nottingham is delivered by seven subspecialist urological surgeons and extensively covers urological cancer surgery, including open, laparoscopic and robotic techniques.
Main duties of the job
It is our aim to be able to offer exposure to robotic partial techniques later into the fellowship. It is anticipated that the fellowship will provide a comprehensive grounding in major urological cancer surgery, making the fellow ready to apply for Upper-Tract Consultant posts. The focus of the fellowship is primarily independence in minimally invasive kidney surgery, but individual aims can be tailored too, if practical.
The Department of Urology is part of the Surgery and Associated Services Care Group. It is housed in the purpose-built Nottingham Urology Centre which was opened fourteen years ago. Nottingham Urology Centre has three urology theatres as well as state of the art outpatients’ facilities including diagnostic suites, flexible cystoscopy and prostate diagnostic suites and an on-site lithotripter. This is a twelve-month fixed-term post, with up to four specialist theatre sessions per week, specialist cancer clinics, MDT and participation in the Urology second on-call rota once per week which will be at Fellow level (between middle grade and consultant).
Working for our organisation
With over 18,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.

With endless personal development opportunities available, at NUH we will endeavour to turn your job into a career!
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The applicant will have up to four theatre sessions per week with the opportunity for more and the expectation is to obtain independence in all aspects of laparoscopic nephrectomy. The applicant will also be exposed to open nephrectomy techniques along with robotic nephro-ureterectomy and robotic nephrectomy.
Applicants will be expected to run an independent uro-oncology clinic, participate in a fellowship-level urology on-call rota (as described above), attend a weekly uro-oncology MDT, and engage in departmental research and training activities.
