About this job
We are looking for a Consultant Radiologist with an interest in Cardiac radiology to help support our two full time cardiac radiologists to cover a sabbatical and sick leave.
Bristol is a large volume, tertiary adult and paediatric centre for cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery and has a well‑established cardiac CT and MRI service.
There are tertiary MDTs for adult congenital heart disease and cardiothoracics as well as specialist paediatric MDTs.
The post holder would also be expected to take part in the general work of the department including acute CT and MRI cover and adult diagnostic radiology on call.
The post is well supported by cardiac radiology and cardiac fellows, radiology specialist registrars, radiographers and radiology nurses.
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.
UHBW is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England.
UHBW has been rated by the CQC as ‘Good’ overall and our staff are proud to deliver excellent care to the people of Bristol, Weston and beyond.
As a forward‑thinking multi‑award winning Trust and a digital exemplar committed to improving patient care, our world‑leading research and innovations are having a positive local and global impact.
Our hospitals are spread across Bristol and Weston; join us and you can enjoy the very best of both worlds; city living within a stone’s throw of the countryside or beside the seaside, both with easy access to all that the South West has to offer.
UHBW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
As an equal opportunities employer actively working towards a diverse workforce we aim to recruit and retain a workforce which represents the rich diversity of the local population at all levels and are committed to designing our services around the needs of individual patients and those around them.
The successful candidate will also support general imaging in UH Bristol as well as acute imaging / on call 1:19 weekdays and 1:13 weekends.
There is a separate interventional weekend on call rota.
Proud member of the Disability Confident employer scheme.
