We have strong links with the University of Wales, Bangor and candidates would have an opportunity to develop research links and/or teaching links with the University. Opportunities for research have been enhanced with University Health Board status linking to Bangor and Wrexham universities. The directorate also employs two Research Radiographers to support this work.
Consultants contribute to management of clinical risk through monitoring clinical incidences and participating in the departmental discrepancy meetings. Compliance with the department complaints and litigation policies contribute to good risk management. Good record keeping is expected and consultants are expected to participate in Audit. Research is encouraged particularly when this is appropriate to the professional development of the successful candidate and to the service development of the directorate.
