About the role

LTHTR which along with significant investment in our Community Diagnostic centre resulted in us expanding our Consultant Radiologist numbers to support additional work. Specifically, we are looking to appoint a Consultant Radiologist with expertise and interest in Cross-sectional and Non-Vascular Interventional Radiology (NVIR). The role will include in-patient CT body reporting sessions, attendance and participation in relevant MDT meetings and participation in the on-call rota. Candidates with additional experience in other areas are encouraged to apply. Where possible we try to encourage development of subspecialty interests that fit with the departmental needs and availability of suitable sessions. The successful candidate will support general Radiology, assist in the smooth running of the Directorate and work with colleagues in the provision of an effective and efficient service. The post will be based at Chorley and Preston Hospital sites as well as sessions at the Community Diagnostic centre depending on subspecialty interest. You should have completed the Radiology training (be within 6 months of CCT or have obtained CESR) and should have sufficient skills to be able to independently report MRI, CT, and US examinations within their areas of subspeciality expertise.
