We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Locum Breast Radiology Consultant to join our team at the Division of Surgery – BHRUT NHS. This is a 12-month fixed term post for a consultant breast radiologist.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a consultant radiologist to join our team at Barking, Havering, and Redbridge University Hospital Trust. This is a new post and has arisen due to an increase in demand for radiology services and as a part of transformation and expansion.

• The post holder will share an office with another colleague which at the present is variable post covid.
• The successful candidate is expected to provide Breast and general Radiology across trust sites.
• Participate in symptomatic One Stop Breast clinics, Breast biopsy clinics.
• Report breast MRI, cross-sectional images performed on the MRI and CT scanners at the CDC and at King George's and Queen's Hospital
• Contribute to the general duty roster and hot reporting sessions.
• The post holder is expected to contribute to the Breast and general MDTs with other colleagues in rotation.
• It is mandatory to share an on-call commitment equally with existing IR consultants, with a 1:11 rota.
• Work cross site KGH and QH.
• Onsite on-call work might be required, and this would depend on individual clinical cases.

We're an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we're no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across northeast London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It'll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
