About Us
The Department is staffed by one Professor, two Lecturers and 10 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 program. Trainees also spend at least 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 able to provide remuneration or accommodation for surgeons on attachment. If you wish to visit the Department, please contact Professor David Neal in the first instance.
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), based on Microsoft Access & SQL Server.
These databases remain in use within the Department for audit purposes only; document storage is now administered through the Trust's electronic medical record system (e-MR/e-Discharge).
