The department has won awards for and is a National Leader in scanning patients with Cardiac devices. As part of BHTC, we carry out a large amount of research and complex scanning with plenty of opportunities to get involved. We are immensely proud to have many of our Radiographers publishing research and representing us at conferences both in the UK and around the World.

They will be an advocate for radiographer professional development and use their advanced knowledge to support specialist radiographer education and training. They will supervise, support and assist students and junior radiographers in service delivery and personal development.

Patients will present with a full range of complex conditions and the post holder will be responsible for carrying out the appropriate diagnostic procedures to support the diagnosis of complex conditions.

The working pattern within the department is currently comprised of 4x 9.5hr shifts per week, often with optional weekend lists available on the staff bank.

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britains leading healthcare providers. The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation.

That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time.
