Job overview

Consultant Radiologist with an Interest in Breast Imaging. 

THE POST

This post is for a substantive Consultant in Clinical Radiology with an interest in Breast Radiology. This post will support the delivery of high-quality care along the entire Screening and symptomatic imaging pathway at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital and Poole Hospital.

Dorset breast screening is a high performing, forward-thinking dynamic service. It is a forerunner in role extension and there are 4 Consultant radiographers in post. This post can be entirely breast focussed or there is flexibility to encompass other areas of interest.

Royal Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch hospitals recently merged to form the University Hospitals Dorset (UHD). This provides an exciting backdrop of change and the chance to help develop innovative services and new pathways.

A comprehensive clinical services review has determined that Royal Bournemouth hospital will become the main hospital for emergency care in East Dorset and planned care will be delivered from Poole hospital.

The post holder should be an enthusiastic, effective team player with a flexible approach who can embrace new ways of working and would be expected to take an active role in the development of Breast imaging services at UHD. The trust is committed to a joint selection and recruitment process to help further the experience of patients within East Dorset.

We can accommodate full-time or part-time working.
