Job overview
Applications are invited for 2 Speciality Doctors in Radiology. The department is currently recruiting radiologists in various subspecialties to cope with increasing demand.
The successful candidates will be required to contribute to the general workload including plain film, CT and ultrasound. MR reporting will be encouraged if suitably trained. We would encourage development towards any special interests such as Oncology / MSK / GI Radiology / Urology and Breast.
There are trainees in the Health Board from the North Wales Radiology Training Scheme, Wales Deanery. The successful applicant will be expected to participate in the teaching and training of the trainees.
Main duties of the job
The post holder would work flexibly where required to achieve high quality care and to assist in meeting local and national targets.
There is a requirement to be responsible with others for optimum use of resources.
The post is flexible based in one of the three hospitals but may require some sessions to be undertaken in the other District General Hospitals.
