Main duties of the job
This appointment is Health Board wide and the successful candidate would join radiology colleagues to provide general, head and neck based CT, MRI, ultrasound and fluoroscopy services to support the Health Board. The candidate will contribute to the wider workload of the department subject to job plan discussions, including general radiology, second on call rotas, teaching of radiology trainees, reporting Radiographers, undergraduate students, and other hospital staff. Flexible working arrangements will be considered and discussions as to your requirements and how they could be accommodated are welcomed.
A proportion of the out of hours (OOH) on-call is currently outsourced and completed remotely by an online Teleradiology provide. However, the directorate is currently subject to transformation bringing a proportion of this service in-house.
