The vision for SESLHD is ‘exceptional care, healthier lives’. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it. St George Hospital is undertaking a 12 month trial of an innovative approach to diagnostic radiology reporting. The bulk of the image reporting will occur in a separate reporting engine.

Distinct shifts have been developed to accommodate other Radiologist functions (such as training and supervision of registrars, MDT attendance, consultation with clinical teams, quality improvement, research etc). These shifts are called Training, Engagement and Governance (TEG) shifts. Remuneration in reporting engine shifts will be a fee-for-service type model and TEG functions will be sessional (hourly) remuneration. Participation in both aspects of the service will be required.

Successful applicants will benefit from increased remuneration, dedicated time to participate in TEG functions and a better work/life balance.

Radiologists will report on ED and other examinations from 0800 to 2400 hours each day (2 shifts), with remuneration commensurate with the number of examinations reported and their complexity. It is planned to undertake reporting between 12 midnight and 8am when feasible and if you wish to participate. Reporting engine shifts may occur off site. Radiologists will also participate, on site, in the TEG functions, including training and supervision of registrars, participation in MDTs, consultation with clinical teams and quality improvement initiatives.

Radiologists will be expected to participate in the departmental on-call rosters. Experience in multiple radiology subspecialties is highly desirable. The successful applicant would be experienced in all aspects of their radiology subspecialty including advanced diagnostic procedures, basic interventional procedures and participation in clinic-radiology meetings.

The Department of Medical Imaging includes two CT scanners, DR/CR general X-ray rooms, one 3T MRI scanner (increasing to two scanners in 2023), Angiography Suite, five Ultrasounds and a fluoroscopy room. The department provides reporting for a dedicated CR and CT room in the Emergency Department (to be doubled with the next phase of redevelopment). Our staff strive to provide excellence in healthcare and uphold a high standard of care for all patients, families, carers and visitors to our facilities.

At the core of our organisation is a set of values - Collaboration, Openness, Respect and Empowerment. SESLHD covers nine Local Government Areas from Sydney's Central Business District to the Royal National Park and has a culturally and linguistically diverse population of over 930,000 people. SESLHD manages eight public hospitals and one public nursing home, with a range of health services provided across facilities.

SESLHD also operates 28 Child and Family Health Centres, 12 Community Health Centres and nine Oral Health Clinics; providing prevention, early intervention and community-based treatment, palliative care and rehabilitation services. Drug and Alcohol, Mental Health, Breast screening, HIV/AIDS, Public Health, Women’s Health, Youth Health, Sexual Health, Imaging and Pathology services are provided at a number of facilities across SESLHD. The primary location of this position may be varied as agreed with the Director of Clinical Services and as approved by MDAAC to other facilities in SESLHD.
