Diagnostic processes include: clinical assessment, consent, review of Imaging, transperineal biopsies under either general or local anaesthetic and relaying diagnosis.
The role will require delivery of a comprehensive urology diagnostic pathway for patients suspected of having prostate cancer and the management of patients on this pathway to the point of diagnosis and the onward referral/liaison with other services (e.g. Clinical/Medical Oncology).
