The merger of Bedford and Luton & Dunstable Hospitals has led to the expansion of services, creation of new services, development of cross site working and procurement of new equipment including a cross site PACS system ( Phillips/Carestream), new USS, CT and MRI scanners. To support this we have expanded our consultant, middle grade and trainee numbers across the two sites.
Bedfordshire Hospitals imaging department is a friendly and cohesive team offering a high quality patient centred service with a broad range of specialities across the two sites.
We are looking for a Consultant with broad experience in all aspects of Head & Neck and neuroimaging.
Head & Neck services are delivered across both sites and supported by 3 specialist radiologists. Bedfordshire Hospitals is the regional operative Head & Neck unit. This is enhanced by the recent provision of robotic surgery. The 3 radiologists work very closely with 8 ENT and Oral and Maxillo-facial surgeons.

Luton is the stroke centre of the whole of Bedfordshire and supports Buckinghamshire for its out of hours stroke provision. Acute stroke imaging is provided 24/7 to support the provision of acute thrombolysis. CTA service is also provided locally to support patients requiring thrombectomy, which is provided by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
The stroke unit is a high functioning unit supported by the imaging department. All imaging modalities and techniques are used to support this service including AI and CT perfusion.
The successful candidate is, expected to participate in the Head & Neck MDT, stroke MDT and MS MDT. A dementia MDT is planned for the future.

Home working is supported across both sites. All consultants have home reporting equipment including voice recognition software.
Participating in the general radiology workload is essential and participation in other MDTs is encouraged and subject to agreement with the clinical director during job planning.
The formally merged department has established links with Bedford hospital, and flexibility for cross site working is necessary and will be positively encouraged and supported. We recognise the importance of collaborative working and will encourage the successful applicant to continue to develop beneficial links with other local Trusts.
Over the years the imaging department has been proactive and innovative in developing new ways of working. This is to help support staff wellbeing, increase departmental productivity and to deliver high quality services for our patients. Below are a few but not exhaustive examples of innovative practice introduced locally.
The department developed an activity based dashboard almost a decade ago. This dashboard has supported business cases for expansion of workforce both in terms of radiology consultant and trainee numbers. Complexity scoring system was developed to provide a fair and more transparent way of measuring reporting output per PA.
Remote working/ home working was introduced a few years before the pandemic on a voluntary basis, to support flexible working. This was supported by the trust board and consultant colleagues and has been highly successful, particularly during the pandemic. Many consultants have 1 day of remote working built in to their job plans.
Changes to the on call particularly on the weekend to make it more manageable and safe led to a split on call on the weekend between 2 consultants supported by a Specialist Registrar on site. This change was incorporated after recruitment of additional consultants, specialist trainees and clinical fellows.
All of this innovative work has been positively acknowledged by GIRFT and CQC. This department has been designated as an exemplar site by GIRFT and outstanding and well led by CQC.
The allocation of programmed activities will be based on 8.5 for direct clinical care and 1.5 for supporting professional activities. The detailed job plans will be agreed in consultation with the Clinical Director, with the approval of the Medical Director and Chief Executive or his/ her representative.
The job plans will be a prospective agreement that sets out a consultant’s duties, responsibilities and objectives for the coming year. It will cover all aspects of a consultant’s professional practice including clinical work, teaching, research, education and managerial responsibilities. It will provide a clear schedule of commitments, both internal and external. In addition, it will provide personal objectives, including details of links to wider service objectives, and details of the support required by the consultant to fulfil the job plan and the objectives.
The pattern of work may change in the future to meet local changing needs and annual review meetings will take place in line with the new Consultant Contract, job planning and appraisal arrangements.
