As a Band 6 Radiographer, you will be expected to work independently in accordance with departmental Standard Operating procedures and be accountable for your own actions to the Section Head of the MRI Department, escalating any concerns to your manager when necessary.

The Imaging department provides a wide range of services for patients within a variety of settings. Services provided range from simple radiography to complex procedures such as arteriography, CT and MRI or interventional procedures such as the introduction of intra‑arterial therapeutic devices, the implantation of indwelling feeding catheters and pain relief devices where the patient may be sedated or anaesthetised. These procedures may be performed as an outpatient appointment or may involve an in‑patient stay and will require the postholder's highly skilled standards of technique.

The MRI service is a patient‑focused service. Examinations are varied, ranging from Neuro, Pelvic and Abdominal, Musculoskeletal, Breast and Peripherals. The MRI service is provided for a range of patients such as neonates and elderly, inpatients, and outpatients. MRI scan results can be used to help diagnose conditions, plan treatments, and assess how effective previous treatment has been.
