Job summary

We are looking to appoint one full-time substantive Consultant Breast Radiologist post based at the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust in replacement of our fixed-term locum consultant post. The post includes programmed activities in symptomatic breast and general radiology. We can also support another subspecialty interest including paediatrics, head and neck, neurology, and cardiothoracic radiology.

The post has arisen because of expansion of the service. The successful candidate will join a team of 31 consultant radiologists to help deliver Diagnostic Imaging Services to the Trust and local commissioners. Candidates are required to have a subspecialty interest in Breast imaging and associated intervention.

There has been considerable recent investment in the department including the development of a dedicated Breast Unit on the New QEII Hospital site. This purpose-built unit opened in June 2015 and deals with nearly 600 breast cancers annually. Currently, there are 5 breast radiologists supporting 4 breast surgeons. There are 4 radiographers trained in mammography supported by 2 associate mammographers. We have two additional mammographers, one trained in performing breast ultrasound and one trained in stereotactic procedures.

Main duties of the job

The workload of the successful candidate would be approximately that recommended by the Royal College of Radiologists. There will be a minimum of 4 breast clinical sessions based on a full-time job and the remainder a mixture of general and other subspecialty. The successful candidate would also play a role in teaching and developing skill mix within the Unit and participate in the MDT meetings.
