Working as a Consultant in Urology within the HSE (Ireland's public health system) you'll provide high-quality care to patients in the Urology department at this leading teaching hospital in Donegal.

Where possible the post holder will participate with academic and clinical colleagues to enhance the hospital's research activities within the research governance framework.

The general urology service is for patients with a wide range of benign and malignant disorders including:

• Endo-urology for stones/benign prostate enlargement/bladder cancer
• Paediatric Urology e.g. benign lower urinary tract conditions
• Diagnosis/staging of prostate/bladder cancer
• Treatment of testicular cancer
• Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) Diagnosis and Treatment

At a regional level, Galway University Hospital acts as the main tertiary referral centre for the Saolta Group for complex urological conditions as well as being the regional cancer centre. The service transfers patients to a tertiary centre for pelvic oncology, renal cell cancer (radical prostatectomy and radical cystectomy), renal stones, and complex benign Urology cases.

The service works across OPD, Inpatient and Day Case Theatres, and Radiology Services. The service is aligned with Saolta Clinical Urology Strategy and the National Surgical Clinical Care Programme. There are two Consultant Urologists employed supported by a team of 2 Registrars and 2 SHOs. An Intern rotates through the Urology Service every 3 months.

This role is not a substantive post but will be a relatively long-term contract of 1 year with a view of going permanent.
