Senior Clinical Fellow - Interventional Radiology
Job overview
Applications are invited for a full time post-CCT fellowship in Interventional Radiology, with the opportunity to gain specialist skills and knowledge in a wide range of vascular and oncological procedures.
The successful applicant will join a large team of interventional radiologists, taking the training opportunities available across our two sites at the brand-new Royal Liverpool Hospital, the recently upgraded Aintree IR theatres and the new installation of two hybrid vascular theatres, based at Aintree Hospital.
The successful candidate will be expected to join the directly consultant supervised cross site registrar IR on-call rota (1 in 6).
Main duties of the job
UFT provides an extensive portfolio of vascular and oncological treatments via four IR theatres across the two sites. In addition to a soon to be completed hybrid suite housing two theatres, using the latest Siemens Artis Zee and Artis Pheno systems.
Vascular services in LUFT foster a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to patient care. Peripheral vascular work is performed predominantly within IR theatres, while more complicated cases involving cut downs and EVAR cases are performed as joint procedures with vascular surgeons in hybrid theatres. Cases include, but are not limited to, routine and acute EVAR, ChEVAR, FEVAR and TEVAR as well as SMA, renovascular and other visceral branch interventions.
LUFT acts as a tertiary centre for many oncology interventions such as TACE, portal vein embolisation, SIRT, ablations of lung, liver, kidney tumours. We are one of the largest TACE centres in the UK, and provide access to all current approved ablation technologies (i.e. microwave, IRE and cryoablation).
In addition we provide a wide range of other vascular and non-vascular interventions, such as PAE, UFE, trauma embolisations, AVM treatments, fistula work, PTC's amongst others.
Diagnostic radiology skills will be kept up to date with sessions dedicated to relevant vascular and oncological reporting. You will be directly supervised throughout your fellowship but with a view to fostering independent practice.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The role will involve cross site working to take full advantage of the specialist services delivered at each site.
The post will be full time. We anticipate at least 7 PAs will be dedicated to IR activities, with other PAs for reporting, doctor of the day commitments and SPA.
Contribution to the cross-site registrar on call will be expected to provide experience in the care of acutely unwell patients. In addition to Angio suite presence, other responsibilities will include reporting, vetting and taking queries as part of a “doctor of the day” rota. A commitment to audit and research will also be expected.
Applicants should hold full GMC registration and be within 6 months of achieving CCT in the 6 years RCR Interventional Radiology training scheme. Other equivalent radiology training experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
