Consultant Radionuclide Radiologist/Nuclear Medicine Physician

We are recognised as one of the leading NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK, supporting around 2.8 million patient appointments every year. The Trust is a regional centre for cancer, trauma, burns & plastics and has the largest solid organ transplantation programme in Europe. Due to growth in services, particularly PET-CT, applications are invited for a permanent Consultant Radionuclide Radiologist with special interest in PET-CT/Nuclear Medicine. QEHB hosts the regional PET Centre with one of the busiest PET-CT scanners in the country with a new two-scanner PET Centre on the horizon. The Nuclear Medicine Department also performs a wide range of diagnostic imaging, in-patient and out-patient therapies and non-imaging tests, and supports numerous clinical trials. We have 3 SPECT-CT systems in the department including the first 64-slice Veriton in the UK. We have an on-site radiopharmacy and produce Gallium-68 (PSMA/Dota-peptide). The QEHB nuclear medicine department has a staff of 66 including 7 Radionuclide Radiologists and Nuclear Cardiologists. Duties will include general nuclear medicine and PET-CT reporting and participation in MDMs. Experience in radionuclide therapies will be welcomed but is not essential. There will be a requirement for a single acute inpatient CT reporting session in the job plan. The post is otherwise NM/ PET CT only and, as such, there will be no involvement in the diagnostic radiology on-call and no scope for additional subspeciality work
