Urology Robotic Fellow

Overview

The department of Urology at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust is looking to appoint to our established robotic and surgical oncology fellowship programme for the intake in fellowship year 2026/2027, commencing May 2026 for 12 months. This is an excellent opportunity, in partnership with Intuitive, to receive comprehensive training in urological robotics. The post holder will work through a structured training syllabus, complete with online simulator and dry‑lab training (where required).

The hospital has five Intuitive robotic systems, as part of a multi‑specialty robotic programme, including urology, upper GI, colorectal and gynaecology. The urology department has five robotic surgeons, providing a comprehensive robotic service covering radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, nephro‑ureterectomy, radical nephrectomy, cystectomy with intra‑corporeal reconstruction and a benign reconstructive service. The fellowship programme can be tailored to meet the requirements of the successful applicant’s experience and future sub‑specialty ambitions.

The post includes a middle‑grade on‑call commitment, on a 1 in 9 basis onsite until 20:00, and then off‑site overnight, closely supported by the consultant of the week. The successful candidate will work alongside consultants, nurses, ST, CT and FY colleagues, providing care for urology patients within the hospital, including emergencies and referrals from other specialties. This is a fixed‑term post for 12 months.
