This post is for 5 Programmed Activities (PAs) per week to provide specialist urological surgical oncology services at The Christie Hospital. This is primarily to further develop the world class prostate cancer service. The successful candidate will specialise in prostate cancer management, providing specialist expertise to the Greater Manchester catchment area. The right candidate will need to bring additional expertise to complement the current Team members.

An interest or experience in minimally invasive and innovative technologies will be a necessity. Alongside this a proven track record in research will be important.

If you have a desire to excel within an internationally recognised team, have motivation to innovate and develop new services with the patient outcomes as the keystone of your ethos, we will welcome your application.

Working in a 5 PA Innovation in Prostate Cancer role at The Christie is more than filling a clinical post. It is an opportunity to join a world-leading organisation at the forefront of innovation, research and improving patient outcomes.

We are looking for someone with strong clinical knowledge, curiosity and the ambition to challenge established practice where improvements can be made. The successful candidate will be motivated to explore new ways of delivering better care and will be excited by the opportunities that innovation can bring.

Prostate cancer management is evolving rapidly. Advances in imaging, genomics, artificial intelligence, radiotherapy, systemic therapies and personalised medicine are creating new opportunities to transform patient care. This post offers the chance to help translate emerging clinical science and technological developments into meaningful benefits for patients.

The successful candidate will work closely with clinicians, scientists, researchers, engineers, industry partners, data specialists and patients. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across disciplines will be essential.

This role is ideal for someone with academic ambition who wishes to develop research ideas, contribute to clinical trials and support work that influences future practice. The successful candidate will be able to think beyond individual clinics and consider how innovation can improve outcomes for patients nationally and internationally.

The postholder will contribute to the delivery of high quality consultant led care across 7 days. This includes participation in planned weekend and weekday clinical activity to support safe, timely decision making and continuity of care for patients.

The service is a national referral service with three MDTs each week where all new referrals are discussed. The service is consultant led with daily consultant ward rounds undertaken in rotation. A system is in place with job planned consultant Colorectal, Urology, and Gynaecology support for operating lists to facilitate the complex nature of the surgery. Quarterly Morbidity and Mortality meetings are undertaken to review all complications.

The service prides itself in its low complication figures for the major surgeries undertaken. We are an ESSO accredited training centre for peritoneal surface malignancy. We provide mentorship for trainees undertaking the ESSO/EPSO fellowship in peritoneal surgery. Emergency cover is provided by the colorectal on-call consultant which the successful appointment will be part of. This covers inpatient surgical and oncology patients including those presenting through the Acute Oncology Assessment Unit.
