Consultant Radiologist with a major interest in Head and Neck, Neuro Imaging
Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, has a reputation for innovation and excellence, consistently delivering outstanding performance, whilst developing the skills and abilities of our staff. We are delighted to have recently been rated “GOOD” overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated colleagues to join our subspecialist Head and Neck and Neuroradiology team. Major interests can be in head and neck imaging, diagnostic neuroradiology or both areas.
You will be expected to contribute towards the general radiology workload and the general on-call rota (on a 1 in 14 basis), as well as audit, teaching of registrars on our local training scheme, research and MDT meetings. This is an excellent opportunity for a new CCT holder to commence consultant practice in a supportive environment, or for an experienced radiologist to further develop their career in a busy unit.
Being such a large hospital has allowed us to develop high-quality subspecialty radiology services. We continue to build a reputation for innovation and excellence, consistently delivering outstanding performance, whilst developing the skills and abilities of our staff. The Trust has committed to expanding radiology services (currently 34.85 WTE consultants and 1 WTE nuclear medicine physician) with additional posts. The Trust is also supportive of home reporting, with many consultants having regular home reporting sessions, allowing for flexible working patterns and a good work-life balance.
These posts will be based at The Queen Alexandra Hospital, a Head and Neck cancer centre, and will support an increased demand for imaging from the head and neck cancer, ENT, audiovestibular, maxillofacial and ophthalmology teams. In addition, the Queen Alexandra Hospital is a major hyperacute stroke centre with the highest stroke admission rate in the region.
There are well-developed links to the Wessex Neuro Centre in Southampton, which provides tertiary neurosurgical and interventional neuroradiology services (including mechanical thrombectomy). The existing radiology team provides a comprehensive head and neck imaging service and neuroradiology cross-sectional imaging for our patients and has developed more advanced diagnostic stroke imaging techniques, such as perfusion imaging locally in recent years.
