Locum MSK Consultant Radiologist - 12 Month FTC

Job Plan Commitment: 10 PA

We are looking for a Locum MSK Consultant Radiologist to join the team at GWH on a 12-month fixed-term contract. The post is full-time, but part-time applicants will also be considered.

The Radiology department is well-equipped, with two 128-slice Siemens CT scanners, two 1.5T Siemens MRI scanners, digital screening rooms and updated US machines. Works are underway to install a new Cardiac CT scanner and a SPECT CT. We also employ regular on-site CT and MRI vans/static scanners for additional workload.

The Breast Centre is the base for the Wiltshire Breast Screening Service for Swindon, North and West Wiltshire. We screen nearly 100,000 ladies over a three-year cycle. There are two screening vans and a static facility at the Great Western Hospital. The Breast Centre also provides a symptomatic service for Swindon and Wiltshire. The department has Hologic mammography units with tomosynthesis, and we are setting up a contrast‑enhanced mammography (CEM) service shortly, with localisation usually done with Magseed.

There is a new SPECT CT scanner in the main radiology department.

Radiologists are a happy, functional and hard-working team. Please note that there is a private practice that operates as a co-operative.
