An exciting opportunity has become available in the Breast Imaging department for a Qualified Female Mammographer. We are looking to recruit a conscientious, self-motivated, and enthusiastic Mammographer who has experience working in both the NHS Breast Screening Programme and symptomatic breast care.
Our friendly and dynamic Norwich Breast Unit is part of the QSI Accredited Radiology Department at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, being 1 in 23 Trusts in the UK who have this accreditation. The hospital has a fully integrated RIS and PACS system.
Full time (37.5 hours per week) and part time hours available. Interview date: 31st March 2025.
The Breast Imaging Department is based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH), which is a state-of-the-art acute hospital trust on the outskirts of Norwich City, providing both a symptomatic and NHS breast screening service. The Breast Imaging Department consists of 2 mammography rooms equipped with Full Field Digital (FFD) technology including tomosynthesis, contrast enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) and 3 ultrasound rooms. There is a third designated FFD room for stereotactic guided biopsies which can produce 3D biopsy imaging. A breast MRI guided biopsy service is in the process of being set up.
We are a progressive department and aim to always be at the forefront of breast imaging developments. The Breast unit embraces the four-tier structure with Assistant Practitioners, Specialist Radiographers, Advanced Practitioners, and Consultant Radiographers all being valuable members of our team. We have a lot to offer a forward-thinking proactive mammographer.
Breast Screening is based nearer Norwich city centre at the Norwich Community Hospital in a static unit accommodating 2 Mammography rooms. In addition, there is a static screening unit at the seaside in Cromer District Hospital, and 2 mobile screening vans that cover all picturesque rural Norfolk (fish and chips and an ice cream for lunch!). All equipment is full-field digital technology.
