Job summary

We are a large acute trust with the vascular hub for Gloucestershire and Swindon, a cancer population of >1 million, and a range of medical/surgical specialties.
The trust has recently prioritised 'imaged guided surgery'. Complex and acute work will be based in Gloucester with signed off and funded plans for a Hub. There will be 2 IR labs, 3 cardiac labs, and a 16 bed day unit co-located. A new hybrid theatre is also being built. Work on this is due to commence March 2022.
In the spoke at Cheltenham, we have just installed a new Siemens Artis Q IR suite with 6 day beds.
This ambitious plan reflects the progressive nature of our expanding team. In 5 years we have recruited 3 new IR consultants, started fibroid embolization and renal cryo-ablation. TACE and liver ablation is due to start early 2022. There is expanding vascular work with complex lower limb revascularisation, deep venous work and an established EVAR and dialysis access workload. To fund the expansion we have equally ambitious future plans to further expand the work we undertake.
We support a 1:7 24/7 IR on call rota with 5 full time and 1 part time consultant. Training is integral to the department and we have an excellent reputation. We usually have one senior IR trainee and are looking to increase this. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to both of these.
