We are currently working towards the Quality Standard for Imaging (QSI).

The Health Board will consider a Fixed Term Locum Consultant for this role. Please contact Dr Mitra for further discussion

The post holder will have responsibility for teaching, quality assurance, and service management within their specialist areas and will contribute to the wider workload of the department subject to job plan discussions, including General Radiology, on call rotas and teaching of radiology trainees, undergraduate students, and other hospital staff.

We have strong links with Bangor University and candidates would have an opportunity to develop research links and / or teaching links with the University. Opportunities for research have been enhanced with University Health Board status linking to Bangor and Wrexham Universities. The directorate also employs two Research Radiographers to support this work.

Suitable office and secretarial support will be provided. The successful applicant will have a personal work station with email and internet access. MDT facilities are well catered for including Radiology Seminar Rooms with access to video conferencing.

Consultants contribute to management of clinical risk through monitoring clinical incidences and participating in the departmental discrepancy meetings. Compliance with the department complaints and litigation policies contribute to good risk management. Good record keeping is expected and Consultants are expected to participate in audit. Research is encouraged particularly when this is appropriate to the professional development of the successful candidate and to the service development of the directorate.
