The closing date is 18 January 2026

Clinical training will be regarded as a priority. In addition to training provided in clinics and ward rounds other opportunities will be provided by attendance at teaching sessions. There is an induction programme for junior medical staff.

This is a Postgraduate Teaching Hospital. A significant number of medical students, Postgraduate Specialist Registrars in training, and Senior Clinical Fellows are attached for varying periods of time for advanced teaching.

There will be at least three hours protected teaching time per week. Two one‑hour sessions take place on Tuesday lunch (regular postgraduate teaching programme) and Wednesday lunch (clinical case presentation for the whole hospital). The third hour is specialty specific. A bleep ban operates during these sessions.

It is expected that all employees will take part in the regular teaching activities held throughout the hospital and ICH as part of their work while employed by the Trust.

This contract is fixed‑term in nature, designed to provide specific training competencies to the post holder. Upon commencement, your training competencies will be set.

As the Trust Fellowship in Paediatric Urology, you will provide clinical care in paediatric urology, participate in teaching and ward rounds, attend protected teaching sessions, and work towards achieving the specified training competencies.
