Guys and St Thomas is among the UKs busiest and most successful NHS foundation trusts. We provide a full range of hospital and community services for people in south London and as well as specialist care for patients from further afield including cancer, renal, orthopaedic, respiratory and cardiovascular services.

Guys is home to the largest dental school in Europe and a £160 million Cancer Centre opened in 2016. As part of our commitment to provide care closer to home, in 2017 we also opened a cancer centre and a kidney treatment centre at Queen Marys Hospital in Sidcup. St Thomas has one of the largest critical care units in the UK and one of the busiest emergency departments in London. It is also home to Evelina London Childrens Hospital.

Evelina London cares for local children in Lambeth and Southwark and provides specialist services across south east England including cardiac, renal and critical care services. We lead a number of specialist service networks aiming to ensure children are treated locally where possible, but have access to specialist expertise when they need it. Our community services include health visiting, school nursing and support for families of children with long-term conditions. 

Our adult community services teams deliver care at the heart of the local communities we serve, working in partnership with GPs, local authorities and other healthcare and voluntary sector organisations. Working with our partners in Lambeth and Southwark, we are focusing on new ways of working to improve care for local patients.

In February 2021 the Royal Brompton and Harefield joined Guys and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust, bringing together world-leading expertise in the care and research of heart and lung disease. Our merger provides a once in a generation opportunity to build a lasting, world-renowned heart and lung centre, providing the highest quality care for patients and conducting world-leading research.

We have a reputation for clinical excellence and high quality teaching and research. We are part of Kings Health Partners, one of eight accredited UK academic health sciences centres. In partnership with Kings College London we have dedicated clinical research facilities including an MHRA accredited Phase I clinical trials unit.

Patients are at the heart of everything we do and we pride ourselves on ensuring the best possible patient experience as well as safe, high quality care. We are proud to have one of the lowest mortality rates in the NHS. Following a comprehensive Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection in 2019 we maintained our overall rating of ‘good. Our adult community services achieved a rating of ‘outstanding.

The commitment of our 23,500 staff is key to our success. We are one of the largest local employers and we aim to develop and support all our staff so they are able to deliver high quality, safe and efficient care. The 2019 NHS staff survey results show that we have one of the most engaged and motivated workforces in the NHS. We know this has a positive impact on the care provided to our patients.

We have one of the most ambitious capital investment programmes anywhere in the NHS.

Urology Department

The department offers comprehensive care for the whole spectrum of Urology services and is split into 5 sub groups:

• Bladder & Renal
• Prostate
• Female Urology & Reconstruction
• Stone
• Andrology & Genito-urethral Reconstruction

Guys Urology Centre is a large, dynamic and innovative urology department which has, as its primary ethos, improvement in patient care. We have developed specialist services in diagnostics, oncology, stone disease, andrology, and incontinence, and have an excellent track record for training surgeons in sub-specialist urology.

For a number of years we have run a successful fellowship programme, preparing surgeons for independent practice in the UK or abroad.

Please note that successful completion of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is our accepted minimum language requirement.

The Functional Urology Service is well developed, providing a highly specialist tertiary referral practice in all aspects of functional urology and reconstruction (urinary incontinence, benign bladder dysfunction, complex LUTS, Uro-Neurology and urinary tract reconstruction). The service is led by Mr Malde, Ms Taylor and Mr Sahai. 

The team includes a dedicated MDM and theatre co-ordinator, specialist nurses and clinical scientists. The clinical scientist team provides state of the art diagnostics including video urodynamics, urethral pressure profilometry and ambulatory urodynamics. 

We have specialist clinics related to botulinum toxin treatment, neuromodulation, functional urology, recurrent UTIs and young onset / adolescent urology. We also have an integrated pelvic floor service with joint clinics and operating with our colorectal and urogynaecology colleagues as well as pain colleagues, monthly.

We are a regional service with a weekly MDT incorporating our neighbouring hospitals throughout the month at differing times (Princess Royal Hospital, Kings College Hospital, University Hospitals Lewisham, and Queen Elizabeth Hospital). We also take part in a benign pelvic floor MDT with urogynaecology and colorectal surgery twice monthly.

Our values help us to define and develop our culture, what we do and how we do it.

It is important that we all understand and reflect these values in our work. We are:

Caring - we put patients first

Ambitious - we innovate and strive for excellence

Inclusive - we respect each other and work collaboratively

Our values and behaviours framework describes what it means for every one of us in the Trust to put our values into action. A summary of our framework can be found on our Trust jobs pages and our intranet.

The Clinical Fellow will together with a senior trainee / fellow and the Consultant Urologists be responsible for the provision of urology services. They will undertake surgical procedures within the dedicated urological operating theatres within Guys Hospital. They will work along side the Urology Consultant teams and undertaking clinics and ward rounds to ensure specialist care of outpatients and inpatients in the Urology Centre
