Consultant, Radiology (Vascular Intervention)

This post is offered on a full time (10 PA) basis although less than full time applications will be considered and additional DCC PA may be offered through negotiation depending on service need.

Duties will be primarily based on our Wakefield (Pinderfields) site although all our medical staff are involved in delivering care to patients on all our sites with expectations of potential on-site presence at Dewsbury, Pontefract and/or our Community Diagnostic Centre in Wakefield.

A brief description of the post:

The post is primarily to complement the existing Interventional Radiology team, whose consultants have shared commitments across various diagnostic subspecialties. The successful candidate will support and enable the team to deliver a sustainable excellent service throughout the year for acute and elective pathways including peripheral vascular and non-vascular interventional procedures, e.g. arterial angioplasty +/- stenting, vascular access, nephrostomy, biopsy, drainage. Expertise in emergency arterial embolization would be advantageous during core working hours, with no expectation to provide that out of hours. They will report specialist vascular MRI, CT and ideally cardiac CT. They will support the weekly Vascular multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting, with vascular radiologist and surgical colleagues. The department currently comprises 43 consultant radiologists, with a mix of full-time and less-than-full-time posts, who provide a wide range of subspecialist and general radiological services. General radiology diagnostic skills are essential and the post holder is expected to contribute to the departmental general radiology workload, including acute CT. Additional subspecialty interests can be accommodated depending on service need.
