Consultant Radiologist Subspecialty Interest in Nuclear Medicine

Consultant Radiologist with Subspecialty Interest in Nuclear Medicine

The closing date is 04 February 2026

If you are a motivated nuclear medicine radiologist who is looking for a challenging, fast-paced, and growing radiology department, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals may just be the place for you!

Currently, our team consists of 21 general radiologists with various subspecialties, including breast, upper/lower GI, musculoskeletal, urology, paediatrics and more.

Our refurbishment of the Central Radiology department in early 2021 has led to a cutting-edge diagnostic department including 2 nuclear medicine cameras, with a future-proofed capital replacement programme in place. We operate the latest technology in terms of our PACS solution with Agfa Enterprise Imaging which was upgraded in December 2024 across our entire estate. Along with our ambitious plans for the future, we are also investing in artificial intelligence solutions within our department.

We would like you to encourage you to be a part of our team! Our advice to you, come and visit us! Our Head of Department would love to show you around. Then you can find out for yourself that it s Blackpool Teaching Hospitals where you want to work!

The successful candidate will join a multi-professional team based in the Radiology Department at the Victoria Hospital site and will also give clinical opinions for our community hospitals and for our services provided within the primary care setting.

The clinical commitments of this post will include responsibility for provision of all aspects of a Diagnostic Radiology Service at Blackpool Teaching Hospital (BTH), including CT, MR, Plain film and Ultrasound, as well as Nuclear Medicine.

There may also be on occasion a requirement to provide diagnostic reports on patients at community hospitals. At present we operate a "Radiologist of the Day" system, but this is under review, particularly as we gain more consultants within the department. The aim of the department is to become more efficient and to minimise interruptions to individual consultants as much as possible.

Blackpool Teaching Hospitals offers a comprehensive diagnostic nuclear medicine service. We currently offer a wide range of diagnostic nuclear medicine examinations, including a cardiac service. Extensive experience of reporting diagnostic nuclear medicine studies utilising SPECT-CT imaging techniques is required.

An appropriate period of specialist nuclear medicine training and experience with advanced imaging techniques is desirable as is a track record in research. Applicants should possess the FRCR or equivalent and be on the specialist register or within 6 months of obtaining their CCST. They should also hold, or be eligible to hold, an ARSAC Practitioner license. CV required with application.

BTH are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive work environment where every individual is respected, valued, and supported. We recognise that our greatest asset is our people, and we strive to attract and retain professionals who embody our core values. To address previous challenges and promote a culture of excellence, we are seeking individuals who align with our renewed commitment to these values:
Caring, Safe, Respectful
