Locum Consultant Interventional and Diagnostic Radiologist

Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust

The closing date is 12 May 2024

Job summary

We pride ourselves in the delivery of a State-of-the-Art service, where our patients are at the core of a strategy of delivering high quality individualised treatments in a culturally sensitive, dignified and compassionate environment.

Our Angiographic suite is based within the main theatre complex at Queen's hospital, with the latest angiographic bi-plane unit from Siemens. The on-call IR rota covers interventional emergencies ranging from acute gastro-intestinal bleeds to RTA trauma intervention as well as PPH.

We have recently included pulmonary thrombectomy as in hours service and we have plans to include renal access fistula work as well as RFA intervention in near future.

Main duties of the job

We work in close collaboration with the Vascular Surgeons and are currently involved in commencing dedicated IR Clinics.Workload is varied, but largely consists of vascular intervention, including a busy endovascular aortic stent program.

We also work closely with the Gynaecologists in offering a UFE service.We provide a 24-hour interventional service, with dedicated interventional nurses and radiographers across site.

About us

Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.

As we recover from Covid-19, we're proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive forour teams to innovate and change.

We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.

We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We're also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
