Consultant Urologist

We are looking to appoint a consultant urologist to join our existing urologist to provide high quality comprehensive consultant only secondary care to the local community in the Bailiwick of Guernsey (65,000 people approx.)

This post has arisen because of increased demand for urological services in Guernsey. Historically, the urological service has been provided by a single-handed urologist.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for a candidate who demonstrates clinical excellence, is a good communicator and shares the values we place on long term partnerships.

The applicant should be comfortable in managing all core urological elective and emergency conditions. A subspecialty interest is also encouraged, and the present urologist would be happy to change is work balance to encourage this.

About us

We are a partnership of currently 55 Consultants, which, under contract, provides specialist medical services to the Guernsey Health Service with a health care model that is different and separate from the NHS. As well as providing contract care the MSG consultants also provide private care which is remunerated separately, but is carried out in both MSG and PEH facilities as there are no other private facilities on island. MSG administration and secretarial staff also support a consultant private practice. Tertiary care services are supplied by hospitals on the UK Mainland, mainly Southampton University Hospital, usually through contracted services.

The Princess Elizabeth Hospital is a modern hospital with approximately 145 beds and strong clinical links to UK mainland centres, particularly Southampton General Hospital and Kings College Hospital.

Our vision is to be internationally recognised as a centre of excellence for clinical care and loved by the Guernsey community.

Our purpose is to use our expertise and compassion to provide outstanding patient-centred services that improve the health of the community we serve.
