The post-holder is expected to help grow the number and variety of IR procedures being performed at WHTHT's new IR unit, establish new services such as prostate artery embolisation, thrombectomy for pulmonary thromboembolic disease, and management of venous disease such as veneplasty & stenting. The post-holder will also support the vascular interventional radiology meetings.
The position may involve a commitment to the AAU radiology rota, with a dedicated 5-hour session per week and occasional filler sessions.
