The first post will commence in October 2026 and the second in March 2027 for a period of mandatory 12 months and are based at Lister Hospital in Stevenage.

The RCSEng Robotic fellow allows a fantastic opportunity for a senior registrar who wishes to develop a career in Robotic Urology. http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/surgeons/training/fellowships/nationalfellowship-register/urology.

The department includes five robotically trained Consultants (three of whom are national and international proctors in Robotic Urology). The Trust has 2X da Vinci Xi Dual Console robot and a CMR robot, which has further enhanced training opportunities within the department. The department is recognized as a centre of excellence by The Vattikuti Foundation, one of only three centers in Europe.

During the two post it is envisaged that the successful candidate will gain skills in a whole breadth of robotic procedures to including RALP, RALC, intracorporeal reconstruction, RAPN and Robotic Pyeloplasty. The posts are ideally suited to a post-CCT (or equivalent) candidate who can focus on sub-specialty training in Robotics. Our previous Fellows have published and presented at national and international meetings.

At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

We Run The Following Hospitals

• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City

• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
