Candidates should have extensive experience in breast and general radiology, a strong understanding of the NHS complaints system, and a demonstrated ability in incident reporting and auditing. The position requires a commitment to the AAU radiology rota, including weekend on-call duties and offers a flexible working plan. The role encompasses a fixed-term locum contract with 10 programmed activities (PAs), covering various responsibilities such as mammographic reporting and general radiology. Enthusiasm for teaching and research experience is highly desirable.
The successful candidate will undertake one stop clinics, general/mammography reporting and breast MRI reporting all with cross cover. They will also be expected to perform stereotactic biopsies and pre-operative localisations and image guided excision procedures (VAB). There is a weekly Breast MDT meeting attended by the whole breast team. Breast MRI is performed at Watford General Hospital and can be viewed on specialist workstations at St Albans City Hospital. Radiology trainees have recently joined the department and there is further input from the Radiology department in the teaching of both medical students and junior doctors in other clinical specialities - an enthusiasm for teaching would be advantageous for any applicant.
The position would involve a commitment to the AAU radiology rota. A dedicated 5-hour session per week is currently allocated to this with occasional additional filler sessions. On-call commitments will involve a 1 in 18 weekend rota with a requirement to be on site at the weekend/bank holidays between 08:30 and 15:30.
