Job summary
We would like to offer an opportunity for an enthusiastic Radiologist who wishes to develop and/or continue their careers in our department's traditionally friendly, harmonious and supportive environment following the installation of our new hybrid vascular theatre
This is a full time substantive appointment for UHDB NHS FT for a Consultant Radiologist with a sub speciality interest in Interventional Radiology. This post is based primarily at the Royal Derby Hospital which is the central hub for Vascular services network covering Derbyshire and North Staffordshire. The successful candidate will join a comprehensive vascular diagnostic and IR service with our existing six other Interventional Vascular Radiologists, participating in a 1:7 IR on-call rota. An ability to undertake basic non-vascular interventional procedures, eg. nephrostomies is essential.
We provide a comprehensive vascular service which includes a wide range of IR procedures, e.g. peripheral limb revascularisation, endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (infrarenal and complex/fenestrated), vascular embolisation, (& prostate), renal and vascular access work and diagnostic CTA/MRA.
Within UHDB there are 50 Consultant Radiologists (part and full time) . In addition we have 18 Speciality Registrars on rotation from Nottingham and Leicester.
Consultant Radiologists cover general reporting in addition to their sub-speciality and participate on the diagnostic or interventional on call rota.
Main duties of the job
The post attracts 10 PAs (8.5 DCC + 1.5 SPA) but we would be happy to consider part time working arrangements. There is opportunity for additional PAs for dedicated medical student funded teaching. New Consultants are encouraged to support the Radiology Academy teaching programme utilising a purpose-built Academy.
We are keen to promote flexible working. Most Consultants have a full-time job plan which they work over 4 days. Virtually all of our consultants have home reporting work stations and we can work together to achieve a mutually beneficial job plan which enhances the work life balance of any successful candidate.
We are now a large cross site imaging department employing approximately 650 staff offering all imaging modalities. The Royal Derby site was the first imaging department in the East Midlands to obtain QSI accreditation in 2016 which has renewed in 2022. Our equipment portfolio support modern up to date scanners - 9 MRI and 6 CT. There are 5 fluoro rooms including 2 dedicated interventional suites and a newly commissioned hybrid theatre in Sept 22.
The Trust Imaging Department also provides imaging services at seven community hospitals throughout Derbyshire and East Staffordshire.
