Consultant Radiologist with an Interest in Breast Imaging

NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant

As University Hospitals Dorset we are a three site acute trust with ‘university hospital’ status through our partnership with Bournemouth University, working with an annual budget of £730m.

We offer highly regarded health services, employing some 10,000 staff. Our ambitious £250m estates programme is well on the way to delivering state-of-the-art facilities over the next two years to meet the current and future healthcare needs of the populations we serve.

In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with over seven miles of sandy beaches you’ll find inspirational opportunities to achieve your perfect work/life balance. With the New Forest and the Purbecks on our doorstep, we’re also less than three hours from London by road or train. The thriving towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch give way to idyllic villages and unspoilt landscapes just minutes from our hospitals.

We believe that having a diverse workforce, and allowing people to be themselves, is essential in ensuring we offer an inclusive, welcoming and productive place to work.

We especially welcome applications from minority groups in the community who may be underrepresented in our workforce. 

At UHD our active staff network groups are the Women's Network, Black Asian Minority Ethnic Group (BAME), Pride Network, European (EU), Pro Ability Staff Network, and the Armed Forces Support Group.

As a Trust we are proudly signed up to the Disability Confident and Armed Forces Covenant guaranteed interview schemes.

Job overview

Consultant Radiologist with an Interest in Breast Imaging (Screening and Symptomatic)  

We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Consultant Radiologist to work within the Radiology Directorate, part of the Specialities Care Group. The Radiology Department of the Trust will has a combined Radiologist workforce of 37 diagnostic Radiologists, with a range of subspecialty interests, working in collaboration with a further 7 Interventional Radiologists. The size of the directorate facilitates the development of a high degree of sub specialisation across the group.

We would welcome applications from individuals working in breast centres looking for a change in pace and an increased quality of life. If it was in line with the candidates wishes, a structured refresher program would be provided to expand into other areas of interest, or to resume general radiology practice. The candidate would not be required to do on-call or general work if this was not desired, or if not confident to do so. The idea would be to build the job plan around the skills and aspirations of the candidate. If this is of interest, we would strongly advise prospective candidates to get in touch.
