Job overview

We are excited to advertise a regional 2yr RCS Senior Clinical Fellowship in Paediatric Urology between Bristol Children’s Hospital, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Southampton Children’s Hospital. In this post starting in April 2026, you will spend one year in Bristol and then one year in Birmingham. You will be trained across the full spectrum of sub-specialty paediatric urology.
 
ABOUT THE TEAM
All three centres offer a regional service, covering Wessex, the South West and the Midlands, and offering a full range of tertiary level paediatric urology care, including renal transplantation (in Bristol and Birmingham) and elective renal stone management (Southampton and Birmingham). The only service not offered is bladder exstrophy, but through good links with the centres performing these procedures we can facilitate experience of these cases for you. All three centres have a strong track record of research and publications with around 75 publications in the last 5 years. We work collaboratively on local national and international projects and will run regular regional research meetings three times a year between the centres.
