Overview
We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic Consultant Radiologists to join our friendly team here at Dorset County Hospital. If so, we are looking for you!
The Radiology Department at Dorset County Hospital is a progressive, patient focused department and is highly regarded by the clinical teams that use our services. The department is a busy district general hospital department providing CT, MRI, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology, symptomatic breast services and plain film and is also a friendly place to work with an excellent working relationship between all staff within the department regardless of position. The post holder will join a cohesive group of 12 substantive consultant radiologists.
Responsibilities
* Contribute to the general workload of the department whilst developing or providing a sub‑specialist interest that complements existing expertise within the department such as paediatrics, breast or sub‑specialist cross‑sectional imaging. We will also consider purely specialised roles.
* Elective reporting is carried out via an allocated worklist with the number and type of studies depending on the length of the reporting session and area of expertise. The ideal candidate will have a broad range of abilities across CT/MRI/ultrasound and the job plan will be varied and will aim to encompass the individual’s complete skill set.
* MDT involvement will be encouraged according to departmental need and area of interest, and time will be provided for MDT preparation.
* Cover non‑IR emergencies and report elective cross‑sectional cases until 20:00 weekdays when on‑call and between 09:00‑17:00 when on‑call at the weekend as part of the on‑call rota which is currently a 1:12 with internal cover. All out of hours CT (20:00 – 09:00 weekdays and 17:00‑09:00 weekends) is outsourced to an external reporting company.
* Participate in the Trust’s strategic direction as part of the Dorset Imaging Clinical Network and maintain UKAS BS 70000 Quality Accreditation.
