Consultant Interventional Neuroradiologist

YC72

Job overview

Applications are invited for the post of consultant interventional neuroradiologist. 

Neuroradiology at JCUH provides tertiary care to the southern portion of the Northern region.

Main duties of the job

The role includes regular elective interventional sessions plus any emergency cases that present. There will also be a commitment to diagnostic reporting and a contribution to various MDTs

Like all neuro centres, we are currently looking to expand the mechanical thrombectomy service we provide.

The ethos of the department is to provide an excellent patient experience through team work, both internally and with our clinical colleagues. 

Applications for a locum consultant position for 12 months will also be considered. 

Working for our organisation

Getting good NHS services is the most important thing to more than 1.5 million patients, carers and families in the Tees Valley, North Yorkshire and beyond who depend and rely on them. It is the most overriding thing to everyone who works at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust too.

Since the autumn of 2019, we’ve been empowering our clinicians to take the decisions about how we manage our resources and deliver care across our hospitals and services – supported by our amazing scientific teams, administrative, support staff and volunteers. This is important – not just for our local communities in Teesside and North Yorkshire but for patients across the North East and beyond who rely on us as a specialist centre and regional major trauma centre.

By enabling clinicians to come together to shape and deliver the care they want for their patients, we were rated by our colleagues in the 2020 NHS Staff Survey as the most improved Trust in the country. This clinically-led approach has been at the heart of our response to COVID-19 and the overriding goal set by our experienced clinicians to help keep colleagues, patients and service users safe.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Please see the full job description and person specification document(s) for main responsibilities of the role.

We are an anchor tertiary provider – delivering world-class cancer, cardiothoracic, spinal, cochlear implant, neurosciences, gynaecology and urology care for patients across the region – and one of only three hospital trusts in the UK operating three robotic surgical systems. Our major trauma centre sees half of all trauma cases in the North East and Cumbria. Our role as an anchor tertiary provider is also crucial in ensuring that specialist care is available to patients across our region and that health inequalities are not exacerbated in our local patient populations.
