About Medical Imaging Partnership

Medical Imaging Partnership Ltd (MIP) provides high quality diagnostic imaging services, including MRI, CT, Xray, Ultrasound and DEXA scanning, across NHS and private sector settings throughout the South Coast. We are dedicated to delivering safe, efficient and patient centred imaging services that meet both clinical and operational excellence standards.

Service Overview

The service operates as a predominantly adult-focused private outpatient department, with a limited and clearly defined paediatric outpatient provision. The post holder contributes to the safe, effective and responsive delivery of outpatient care and supports consultant-led clinics in accordance with professional and regulatory standards.

Professional Registration

• Registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as an Adult Nurse.
• Dual registration (Adult and Childrens Nursing) is acceptable; however, registration as an Adult Nurse is essential for this role. The post holder must maintain active registration and comply with the NMC Code at all times.

Scope of Practice

The post holder will practise in accordance with the NMC Code, RCN guidance on cross-field working, CQC Fundamental Standards and organisational policies and procedures. Practice must remain within the scope of Adult Nurse registration and assessed competence.

Adult Care Responsibilities

• Undertake adult venepuncture as a core competency of the role.
• Support consultant-led clinics ensuring safe patient flow and preparedness of clinical areas.

• Maintain accurate, contemporaneous clinical documentation.

Paediatric Service Interface

The service includes a defined paediatric outpatient provision led by appropriately registered practitioners. Where the post holder holds dual registration, they may practise within their paediatric registration where authorised and competent. Where the post holder holds Adult Nurse registration only, they will not practise as a Registered Childrens Nurse. Venepuncture for paediatric patients may only be undertaken where paediatric-specific training has been completed and competency has been formally assessed and documented in accordance with organisational policy.

• Participate in clinical governance, audit and risk management processes.
• Maintain compliance with mandatory and statutory training requirements.
• Report incidents and contribute to organisational learning.
