Come and join our friendly team within Ultrasound. If you are looking to develop and progress, and have the drive to lead a team of Sonographers to do the same, this is the place for you! We are looking for a highly focused and passionate individual with the ambition to lead change and innovation.
As Clinical Lead you should:
1. Strive to provide an efficient and high quality ultrasound imaging service, whilst dealing with patients in a caring professional manner.
2. Ensure there is adequate service provision in place at all times.
3. Plan the Ultrasound service to meet the demands of the Trust.
At the NCA, we offer services in general medical, gynaecology, obstetrics, vascular, MSK, head & neck and paediatric ultrasound. We actively encourage participation in departmental improvement and in training and CPD.
A recent structure change within Ultrasound has enabled us to establish different roles which have created opportunities for staff and have assisted in better management of the service. There are more opportunities to come, and our ties within Greater Manchester and with higher education institutions provide many possibilities.
