You should be proficient in cross-sectional imaging, but development of sub-specialist interests will be encouraged as part of our commitment to innovation and excellence. We particularly value candidates with expertise in uroradiology and urointerventional procedures.
There is a strong emphasis on providing a sustainable work/life balance, and we are keen to consider flexible working options. The post includes a commitment to a 1 in 10 out-of-hours rota. Overnight CT scans are outsourced to a ‘night-hawk’ service.
NHS Fife has a rolling plan for equipment replacement. Present imaging facilities include: two 1.5T MRI scanners, three 128-slice CT scanners, three fluoroscopy suites, six non-obstetric ultrasound scanners, one state-of-the-art intervention room, and separate suites for breast and nuclear medicine.
Postgraduate and undergraduate teaching is strongly encouraged, with established links with St Andrews, Edinburgh, and Dundee Universities. We have a strong commitment to radiology trainees from the Southeast Scotland training programme. NHS Fife has a proactive Research and Development team committed to supporting research, with established links to St Andrews and Dundee Universities.
Applicants must have full GMC Registration, a license to practice, and be eligible for inclusion in the GMC Specialist Register. Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry from the date of interview. Portfolio Pathway (formerly CESR) route doctors are only eligible to apply for a substantive consultant post once it has been awarded. Non-UK applicants must demonstrate equivalent training and the knowledge, skills, and experience required for practicing as a specialist in the UK.
We are happy to consider part-time or job-share applications, and NHS Fife offers several Family Friendly Policies. We have a flexible approach to job planning and are open to cross-site working via honorary contracts with other regional hospitals or services to develop or continue a subspecialty interest.
Interviews will be held on 3rd September 2025.
