The successful applicant will become an integral part of the urological services delivered across NHS Highland. You will join a department of highly motivated consultant urologists and specialist nurses who work as a strong team, with individual skills and specialist interests to compliment each other. The department currently has an establishment of five Consultants. This is an additional post, bringing the consultant base up to six, in line with BAUS recommendation..
Raigmore Hospital is the principle elective acute hospital for the Highlands and Islands. The Urology unit is based here in Inverness in the Highland Urology Centre. We provide urological care for the population of the Highlands, Western Isles and some of the Small Isles. All major surgery, one stop clinics and specialist investigations are based in Raigmore. We are supported by our rural general hospitals, who currently offer diagnostic services as well as elective and emergency rural general surgery. We have a newly opened diagnostic hub, the Highland Urology Centre, and are excited about increasing services that can be offered to streamline patient care, especially on a one stop basis. We have recently had a Da Vinci X Robotic platform delivered for multi specialty use and developing urological surgery with this is a high priority.
The Department of General Surgery and Urology will be expanding due to pressure of clinical activity and currently comprises thirteen General Surgeons with a full range of sub-specialties and five Urologists.
Applicants interested in applying are strongly advised to contact Mr Alan Grant, Clinical Director for Surgery and Urology (tel.: 01463 705961), or Ms Sara Ramsey, Consultant Urologist (tel.: 01463 705590)
