Consultant - Radiology

We are looking for a Consultant Radiologist to join the team at Harrogate and District Foundation Trust.

The post is for a radiologist ideally with an interest in Breast Radiology. Additional, secondary interests that are considered beneficial include chest, cardiac and MSK.

Applicants wishing to work part time are encouraged to apply. Future service redesign may result in flexible working patterns and home reporting in line with departmental and Trust objectives.

Given the nature and size of the Trust there are opportunities to help us shape the future of elective, emergency and acute medical care for our local area.

The post will be flexibly time-tabled to meet the demands of the service and take in into account an individual’s requirements. The timing of sessions may change as the service develops. A typical week would be 10 Programmed Activities, including an allocation of 1.5 PA for Supporting Professional Activities. Saturday session will be on rotation when on call. Typically radiologists work on site for 4 days per week.

The on-call commitment will be 1:10. Arrangements are flexible and on-call is organised around individuals’ holiday and other commitments.

The consultant is oncall from 8am to 8pm with out-sourcing of acute CT to an external provider after 8pm. Currently approximately 50% of oncalls are with a radiology trainee as the ‘first’ oncall.

The Radiologists have access to PACS from home for oncall purposes.

The successful applicant will be based at Harrogate District Hospital, a successful Foundation Trust providing a wide range of medical and radiological services to the local community. We welcome cross-site working with other neighbouring Trusts, for example to maintain tertiary specialist skills whilst still enjoying the benefits of working in smaller friendly radiology team.

Please see the attached job description for further details. We would welcome visits to the Trust, please contact Dr Neal Larkman, Clinical Lead for Radiology.
