Consultant Radiologist in Symptomatic Breast and General Radiology

We are looking to appoint one full time substantive Consultant Breast Radiologist post based at the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust in replacement of our fixed term locum consultant post. The post includes programmed activities in symptomatic breast and general radiology. We can also support another subspecialty interest including paediatrics, head and neck, neurology, and cardiothoracic radiology. The post has arisen because of expansion of the service. The successful candidate will join a team of 31 consultant radiologists to help deliver Diagnostic Imaging Services to the Trust and local commissioners. Candidates are required to have a subspecialty interest in Breast imaging and associated intervention. There has been considerable recent investment in the department including the development of a dedicated Breast Unit on the New QEII Hospital site. This purpose-built unit opened in June 2015, deals with nearly 600 breast cancers annually. Currently there are 5 breast radiologists supporting 4 breast surgeons. There are 4 radiographers trained in mammography supported by 2 associate mammographer. We have two additional mammographer, one trained in performing breast ultrasound and one trained in stereotactic procedures.
