Overview
We are looking for a Consultant Radiologist with an interest in adult neuroradiology to expand our team of two neuroradiologists. A second interest in Head and Neck imaging is desirable but not essential. There is an increasing demand for neuroradiology imaging from neuro-oncology and ophthalmology, primary care services as well as general in-patient and out-patient referrals. Bristol has a large oncology centre and is referred patients with primary brain and skull base lesions as well as a quaternary site for haematology including CAR-T therapy. There are multiple trials for primary brain cancers and haematological malignancies based at the Clinical Trials Unit at the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre which radiology is fully involved with.
Job responsibilities
The successful candidate will be expected to comply with all relevant Trust policies relating to administration of patient care. This includes working to set timescales for the triage of requests, the completion of discharge summaries prior to patients being discharged, following the specified process for the management of patients that do not attend (DNA) their appointment or admission, and the completion of all paperwork deemed necessary to support the management of their patients within agreed timescales. Consultants are also expected to work with service managers and clinical colleagues to manage their caseload in a flexible way, to ensure both clinical, national and local priorities, such as maximum waiting times for referral to treatment, are achieved.
