We are inviting applications for a substantive Consultant Urological Surgeon with expertise in robotic upper urinary tract oncology and reconstructive surgery to join MFT Urology, one of the largest urology services in the UK.

This is a strategic appointment within One MFT Urology and an opportunity to join the service at an important point in its development. We are bringing together our teams, expertise and clinical pathways across Manchester to create a modern, high-quality urology service centred around patients rather than individual hospital sites.

Experience or a developed interest in robotic upper urinary tract reconstruction is particularly welcomed.

The successful candidate will provide specialist expertise in robotic renal and upper urinary tract surgery within the One MFT Urology service.

The role will include contribution to renal and upper tract cancer multidisciplinary pathways and operative management, with an expectation of collaborative working across MFT and with The Christie where appropriate.

· robotic partial and radical nephrectomy and other renal cancer surgery appropriate to the appointee's expertise;

· upper urinary tract oncology and complex case selection;

· robotic reconstructive upper tract surgery such as pyeloplasty and ureteric reimplantation where appropriately trained;

· development and standardisation of enhanced recovery and peri-operative pathways;

· prospective review of surgical outcomes, complications and patient experience;

· training and mentorship in robotic surgery for trainees and colleagues;

· research, innovation and evaluation of new techniques and technologies; and

· service development to improve access, capacity, efficiency and resilience across MFT.
