We are seeking a Band 6 (Radiographer or Technologist) for the Nuclear Medicine department at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.
At our recently-refurbished department at the Royal Surrey, there are three SPECT/CT systems, two of which have diagnostic CT capability and one is a digital CZT system.
Main duties of the job
Our department is based in St Luke's Cancer Centre, but we deliver a full range of diagnostic nuclear medicine tests to both adult and paediatric patients, as well as providing a comprehensive Molecular Radiotherapy service (including I-131 for benign and malignant thyroid disease, Y-90 SIRT, Lu-177 DOTATATE, and Ra-223 Xofigo). We actively support training and development within our team and have recently established an apprenticeship scheme in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
The department is also active in research, with close links to the University of Surrey and other partners, and an active portfolio of clinical trials of Molecular Radiotherapy.
