For further information on this role, please see the attached detailed Job Description and Person Specification

2.1 Participate in the provision, planning, and development of the Group’s diagnostic radiology physics service. This includes performing periodic quality control testing of complex, patient-critical x-ray equipment located both within and outside the Trust. Quality control testing requires high precision measurements using sophisticated x-ray measuring equipment; analysis of complex and inter-dependent test data; preparation of reports in a well-presented, timely manner using complex computer spreadsheets; interpretation of test results for radiology staff and x-ray engineers; and making recommendations in order to ensure compliance with relevant legislation, national and local standards and agreed good practice.

2.2 Accept into clinical use, perform a critical examination (to demonstrate compliance with the ionising radiation regulations (IRR)) and commission general patient-critical x-ray equipment, and to participate in the acceptance and commissioning of complex, patient-critical x-ray equipment such as multi-slice CT and digital mammography. This involves liaison with equipment suppliers, installation x-ray engineers, application specialists and radiology staff.

2.3 Perform regular quality assurance testing of complex, patient-critical X-ray equipment, analyse results and formulate a scientific opinion regarding the performance of the unit and its suitability for clinical use.
