Consultant Radiologist

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The highly regarded and forward-thinking radiology department at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a breast imaging Radiologist in response to growing demand for our services. The role will involve exposure to our screening and symptomatic service.

We are seeking 1 radiologist.

The role is based at our Breast screening unit at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.

We are in an exciting transition phase for the department as we continue equipment replacement with DBT machines and department refurbishment.

Main duties of the job

Successful candidates will need to have experience in breast and general radiology and undertake a share of reporting depending on experience. Successful candidates will be HHFT Consultants and may be asked to work at any of our sites (Basingstoke, Winchester, or Andover). The precise details will be agreed in a job plan, and we are usually able to accommodate reasonable requests.

All Radiologists are encouraged to contribute to the running of the department. This is rewarded with SPA allocation that will be allocated according to the level of contribution. We have regular discrepancy (REALM) meetings, Consultant meetings, and quarterly strategy meetings which are now largely online.

About us

Across HHFT, we currently have 4 static mammo machines, 3 mobile breast screening vans, 5 static CT scanners, and 3 static MRI scanners. This includes a private imaging facility on the Basingstoke site (Candover Clinic) which is part of the NHS trust and offers general X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and MRI. Insignia PACS, CRIS, and Talking Point Voice Recognition are integrated across HHFT (PACS system undergoing replacement currently). Home-reporting workstations are provided for all Consultant Radiologists to facilitate the on-call service, flexible reporting, and additional voluntary reporting ('insourcing').
