Join to apply for the Radiology Nurse Specialist role at Stockport NHS Foundation Trust
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a band 6 Radiology Nurse specialist to join the expanding nursing team in the Radiology Department.
This dynamic department includes a wide range of x-ray-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The unique and varied nature of the specialty means that there is always something new and interesting to learn. Due to the diversity of patients who attend for treatment, the Radiology Nurse has the ability to care for a wide range of patients of all ages, from Emergency, Medical, Surgical, stroke and urological specialties. The Radiology nurses are vital team members, fulfilling the role of pre procedure, circulating and recovery nurse roles, as well as organizing the patient's pre- and post-procedure care. The role includes working in Interventional, CT, Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound.
The Radiology Department is formed of a small team of nurses that work alongside the larger multi-disciplinary team which includes Radiographers, Radiologists, Healthcare Assistance and Administration Staff. This position would allow for role expansion in areas such as cannulation, venepuncture, caring for sedated patients, MPI stressing and nurse led clinics. The unit is committed to the training and development of staff so further development in this role would be encouraged.
