Summary
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust are looking for a dynamic, caring, and enthusiastic Consultant Radiographer to join our Breast Imaging team.
The department provides screening and symptomatic services for the county of Shropshire and parts of mid-Wales. We have recently implemented Tomosynthesis and are looking to implement Contract Enhanced Mammography. We are supported by an excellent team of Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Radiographers, Assistant Practitioners, Breast Care Nurses, Imaging Assistants and Clerical staff.
We have newly installed GE Pristina equipment in both departments and on our mobile units.
We embrace new ways of working to meet the challenges currently faced, this includes going paperlite for our Breast Screening Programme.
The post-holder will be expected to provide and facilitate an expert level of care in breast imaging services. They will exercise the highest degree of professional autonomy enabling and embedding values based practice across pathways, services, organisations and systems, working in partnership with individuals and teams. This extends beyond developing expertise in professional practice and independent decision-making within complex and unpredictable contexts. They will demonstrate expertise and evidence informed practice.
Work collaboratively with colleagues delivering a seamless continuity of service for the NHS Breast Screening Programme and symptomatic breast services at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
Liaise with colleagues regarding annual leave and during times of increased workload, ensuring clinical workload commitments are covered to maintain continuity of service in both the screening and symptomatic services.
Clinical duties will be undertaken at both the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, Shrewsbury, and the Princess Royal Hospital, Telford. As such, the post-holder must have a current driving licence and access to private transport.
This post requires extremely high levels of clinical judgement involving frequent periods of intense concentration, utilising a significant amount of physical, emotional and intellectual resourcefulness in managing patients, equipment and external influences.
You will be joining us at an incredibly exciting time as, having recently being awarded more than £300 million government funding, The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is about to undergo a major transformation as part of our sustainable services programme. This will lead to breast imaging and surgery being co-located at one of the two hospital sites in a purpose-built breast services department. This will present an opportunity for the post-holder to take a leading role in the planning, design and development of the new department.
Due to the nature of the work, mammography posts have a gender protected character. This is a genuine occupational requirement and as a result this post is exempt under Schedule 9; Part1 of the Equality Act 2010 and, therefore, only female applicants should apply.
