About us

The School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences is part of King's College London's Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine. It operates a portfolio of specialist clinical imaging services (cardiac and perinatal MRI and PET scanning) to approximately 15,000 patients a year at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT). In partnership with GSTT's Clinical Imaging & Medical Physics (CLIMP) Directorate, these King's College London services are accredited in accordance with the Quality Standard for Imaging (QSI) 2021, and share the same exemplary clinical governance standards.

About the role

We are seeking a highly organised and experienced individual to support the clinical governance and quality improvement agenda for the clinical imaging services delivered by the School at GSTT.

The post holder will work closely with a wide range of stakeholders, including the School Director of Clinical & Research Imaging Operations, Clinical Leads, Service Managers, Superintendent Radiographers and Medical Physics Leads to provide support to implement comprehensively the principles and practice of clinical governance. This covers the systems and processes for monitoring and improving services, through to the outcomes of complaints, incidents and patient experience including user and public involvement. The post holder will support risk and incident management, patient complaints and feedback, audit, and clinical effectiveness programmes, and will be responsible for reviewing and monitoring staff education and training, and compliance with document quality and control processes and use of information. They will have a key role in monitoring and implementing the quality management systems used by the School's imaging services to support their QSI accreditation and compliance with GSTT and School standards.

The post holder will liaise closely with the CLIMP Clinical Governance Manager and will be expected to work effectively with other GSTT Directorates and Governance teams, risk management, complaints and litigation, patient advice and liaison service (PALS) and quality assurance colleagues, and external agencies, as required. They will also engage with the School's wider research governance and patient and public involvement, engagement and participation teams.

The role is based in School space at St Thomas' Hospital. On-site attendance will be required, with limited scope for home working.

This is a full time post, and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
