Overview
Join to apply for the Senior MRI/Neuro Radiographer role at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. This role is part of a recently redeveloped Imaging department at the Brighton Campus, including bi-plane Neuro-angiography and 3 Tesla MRI, with intra-operative MRI. We are the regional Trauma and Stroke centre with mechanical thrombectomy, and our service reflects the challenges this brings.
This position would be ideal for radiographers with a strong interest in neurological imaging and who want to develop a substantial role in MRI. It is a 50/50 split between MRI and Neuro rotation, with solid time in each.
Previous experience in MRI and Neuro-angio would be ideal but is not a necessity, as our training programmes are comprehensive.
You will implement advanced imaging techniques within this niche service, developing interventional angiography skills. This will involve the team participating in advanced interventional treatments such as aneurysm and AVM treatment, and stroke management such as mechanical thrombectomy.
Most importantly we are looking for someone with NHS experience who is eager to join our developing team and who shares our passion for the service we deliver.
Responsibilities
* The radiographer will be expected to work in Neuroangiography, Interventional Radiology (IR), MRI, and CT on the Royal Sussex County Hospital site.
* Be an experienced HCPC registered radiographer able to undertake a wide range of clinical duties to provide high-quality radiological images to assist patient diagnosis and treatment, supporting colleagues to do the same.
* Support the Superintendent radiographers with the day-to-day running of the department so that it is smoothly coordinated while delivering a high-quality patient experience.
* Ensure departmental adherence to x-ray regulations (IR(ME)R, IR17), MHRA MRI safety guidelines and UHSx policy guidelines/protocols.
* In addition to your normal core hours, participation in out-of-hours rota is necessary. This will include some weekend and night shift work and on-calls from home.
* You will be a senior influence within the department, working throughout the Imaging department which includes a state-of-the-art bi-plane Neuro angiography suite, two 1.5T Philips Ambition X MRI scanners, one 1.5T Siemens Aera MRI scanner, one 3.0T Philips Elition X, 5 CT scanners including a dedicated A&E CT.
