Overview
This post is for a Consultant Radiologist with specialist interest in Non‑Vascular Interventional Radiology (10 PAs). This is a replacement post due to job plan changes in the interventional radiology department and is designed to meet the increasing demand for interventional and diagnostic radiology services while establishing an interventional oncology service.
The post is full time but part‑time work is encouraged. It includes participation in the IR on‑call rota (diagnostic on‑call rota participation is optional) and home PACS links are available.
Candidates are encouraged to visit the hospital and can make arrangements through contacting the Clinical Lead: Dr Gary Cross ([email protected]) or Dr Joseph Keighley, Consultant Interventional Radiologist ([email protected]).
Main duties of the job
The candidate must be able to provide a range of non‑vascular interventional radiology procedures and ideally will be competent in haemorrhage control. This role also demands a good level of diagnostic radiology competence; another specialist area of interest is encouraged but not essential. The post holder will contribute to the general radiology work of the department in conjunction with other radiologists who perform regular sessions in general radiology.
The case mix in interventional radiology at the RUH predominantly comes from our busy Urology, Gastroenterology and Surgical departments and from a broad range of oncology patients. Approximately 1,300 IR procedures are performed per year. With this appointment we will provide a 1:5 IR on‑call service between 08:00‑17:00 seven days per week. Our aim is to establish an interventional oncology practice providing thermal ablation and some elective embolisation.
