Join to apply for the Consultant Radiographer role at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
An opportunity has arisen for an 8b Consultant Radiographer to join our team at Wycombe Hospital, supporting the delivery of an expanding symptomatic breast imaging service and the NHS breast screening programme.
The post holder will undertake advanced practice across multiple modalities, demonstrating high-level knowledge, clinical reasoning, and experience. The unit diagnoses nearly 600 new breast cancer cases annually and provides imaging support for four breast surgeons.
Requirements include a BSc in Radiography or equivalent, with at least 3 years of Advanced Practitioner experience in breast imaging, HCPC registration, and a Certificate of Competence or Post-graduate Award in Mammography. Additional postgraduate qualifications in film reading/reporting, interventional techniques, breast ultrasound, and breast examination are preferred. An MSc in advanced mammography practice is desirable.
