Trainee Mammographers welcome to apply*

Previous Applicants need not apply

Due to the current national guidance on Health Promotion within Breast Screening, this opportunity is open to female applicants only. This provision applies under the Equality Act 2010 (and an equality impact assessment has been completed).

We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community health care premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.

FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.

WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.

All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.

JD & P-Spec

We provide both a well-woman screening service (NHSBSP) and a busy symptomatic imaging service. The North Lancashire and South Cumbria Breast Screening Service invites around 115,000 women every three years for screening. The service has two mobile units, as well as three static sites at:

- Royal Lancaster Infirmary
- Westmorland General Hospital
- Furness General Hospital
- Mobile Screening Van which rotates around the Blackpool, Fleetwood, Preston, Lytham and Poulton le Fylde region.

We are well equipped with new GE Pristina and we're in the process of upgrading GE Senograph x-ray sets to GE Pristina 3D sets, with stereotactic biopsy capabilities.

Whilst the role would be based at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, there would be a requirement to work across all screening sites to meet the need of the service.

The role will also entail providing a symptomatic imaging service.
