About Us
The Department is staffed by one Professor, one Lecturer and 7 NHS Consultants in adult urology, each with his own sub-specialist areas of interest. Together, the Consultant staff now provide a full range of urological expertise.
Since 1 April 2004, five of the NHS Consultants have also provided daytime urological cover for Hinchingbrooke Hospital on a rota basis.
Urological Training
Urological trainees within the Department are part of the East Anglian training programme. Trainees also spend a year in each of the other regional units (Norfolk & Norwich University, Edith Cavell, Ipswich, Bedford, West Suffolk and Luton & Dunstable Hospitals) in rotation.
Application for these posts is by open competition and vacancies are advertised in the standard medical journals (to view vacancies on-line, visit the British Medical Journal).
Prospective applicants should contact Professor David Neal or Mr Nimish Shah for further information.
Visiting Doctors & Students
Visiting surgeons are welcome in the Department but we are not normally able to provide remuneration or accommodation for surgeons on attachment.
Clinical students wishing to spend an elective period in the Department should contact the Clinical School.
Clinical Audit & Coding
The Department has been at the forefront of developing a computerized audit system for urology (AUDIS), now based on Microsoft Access & SQL Server, and a flexible cystoscopy database (HICSS).
These databases provide facilities for incorporation of all documentation into the electronic medical record (e-MR).
