Role Overview
The highly regarded and forward‑thinking radiology department at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a radiologist with a specialist interest in Oncological/Haematological imaging, ideally with a secondary interest in Head and Neck imaging.
Key Responsibilities
The role will support the hematological malignancy service with cross‑sectional imaging and whole body MRI, as well as whole body MRI for breast and prostate cancer patients. Head and neck imaging skills would also be helpful, to provide further support to this service.
The role also involves a share of the general workload in the department, with general cross‑sectional and ultrasound imaging, taking part in the acute rota and consultant‑led on call at either Basingstoke or Winchester.
The post is primarily to support the oncology and haematology imaging at HHFT, in particular with whole body MRI imaging. Support for the ENT service would also be welcomed, particularly with head and neck ultrasound and FNAs.
There will also be a need to support the general rota with both acute and outpatient reporting, including supporting the on call rota. While on call will be based on one site, there may be a requirement to perform sessions at any of our 3 main sites.
Job Details
Personalised job plans are negotiable and subject to change according to service need. The individual job plans will depend on the skills and preferences of the successful candidate. HHFT are happy to consider flexible working in support of work / life balance.
The post is funded for up to 10 PA incorporating up to 8.5 sessions of DCC (including approximately 0.9 PA on call) and 1.5 sessions of SPA. A detailed job plan will be agreed after successful appointment and before starting in post.
We are in an exciting transition phase for the department as we continue a 10-year, £40 million programme of equipment replacement and department refurbishment.
