Job overview
The Radiology Department forms a large part of the diagnostic imaging services available to the Trust, which undertakes a variety of examinations to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of both primary and secondary care patients. Imaging services are multifaceted and include elements of booking and administration, imaging, reporting and storage and dissemination of results. Diagnostics are central to most care pathways, and deal with both high volume and specialised imaging studies. Due to a system wide approach to imaging including tertiary centres, networking of imaging data and its accessibility for efficient care are critical elements. The diagnostic portfolio includes working with other imaging areas outside Radiology where there is a requirement for project or systems expertise.
Main duties of the job
The role is required to provide operational support to clinical services by means of bespoke IT systems and processes that the clinical and administrative teams follow as part of the imaging pathway, both within Radiology and in other imaging based areas. The role will be required to support related system changes and projects which are designed to maximise the efficiency of the clinical services, and to ensure systems are fit for purpose. There will be elements of user training to deliver, user access to maintain, and management of day to day transactions of imaging between Trusts.
The role is a full time position offering 37.5 hours per week. This will be primarily based between Monday to Friday, with the requirement of flexibility of evening and weekend work as and when required. The role may require participation in an on-call system as part of a rotation.
Working for our organisation
The James Paget University Hospital is a vibrant university hospital providing the best possible care to the people of east Norfolk and north Suffolk.
Situated between two popular holiday destinations, and with a steadily increasing local population of over 230,000, the JPUH is the largest local employer in the area with over 3000 staff.
Our priority is ensuring that patients always come first and remain at the heart of everything we do. We focus on high quality, safe and compassionate care, supporting our growing elderly population and developing closer links with our health, social and educational partners. Listening to patients and carers so that we understand what matters, what works well and what we need to do to improve is also very important to us.
We pride ourselves on our safety levels and are active in clinical research and play an important role in the teaching and training of a wide range of health professionals.
Like all hospitals, we face a challenging future, but we are ready to make the bold decisions so that we are at the forefront of innovative working practices. Our services have to be safe and also represent value for money. Our staff will work in creative ways, using advances in technology to their full potential and to eliminate waste that adds no value to patient care.
