Crynodeb
The successful candidate will join a dynamic and cohesive team of 19 Consultant Radiologists within the Medical Imaging Department at Leighton Hospital which is part of the Diagnostic and Clinical Support Services Division.
The post holder will be expected to provide interventional radiology (IR) services in both vascular and non-vascular intervention. The post holder is also expected to bring in leadership skills and will proactively expand IR services provided by the trust. Involvement in general radiology would be preferred, and this would be actively encouraged.
The department is supported by Specialist Trainees (ST) on rotation through Health Education England (NW), radiographers and sonographers, medical imaging assistants, secretaries and clerical staff.
A remote reporting service for CT operates independently from the on-call radiologist between 2000 - 0900 hrs during the week and from 1700 - 0900 hrs at the weekend.
The department uses Carestream PACS and has implemented home reporting to support remote reporting sessions and MDT preparation to increase the flexibility of agreed job plans.
Applicants must have full registration with the GMC including a License to Practice and be on the Specialist Register (or be within six months of obtaining their Certificate of Completion of Training).
Shortlisted candidates will be expected to visit the department prior to interview.
The proposed AAC date is 15.05.2026

• Be actively involved in the leadership, management and decision making of the Radiology Department
