I’m part of a busy, fun and supportive team. I trained here as a registrar and two years in post as a general urologist I’m already lead. I’m proof that if you want to step up and contribute ideas and innovations that make a real difference to patient care, you can carve out your career path here.

Our department’s vision is to be a centre of benign excellence and we’re small and flexible enough to make this a reality. We have absolute autonomy to run the service and Covid-19 has shown that we can adapt and move things forward with speed. For example, our two-week pathway for prostate biopsy, treatment plan, day surgery, and local clinic follow up; and our flexible approach to diagnostic testing generally, to ensure we have no diagnostic backlog.

The ethos of the Trust and our size means you get to know everybody; you meet and talk things through and take action to solve problems.

I’ve also been supported to expand my specialist interests so I continue my andrology work and founded the East Anglian Andrology network with colleagues at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. You would absolutely be supported to pursue your specialist interests as well.

If you want to make a difference to patients in an environment that allows you to flourish, then this is a great place to develop your career.
