Consultant Radiologist - Body / Diagnostic
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
Applications are invited for the post of Consultant Body Radiologist to work across the University Hospital of Wales and University Hospital Llandough sites in Cardiff. This post provides an exciting opportunity to further develop the existing Body imaging service within the Health Board.
The post holder will share in the responsibilities for delivering general and specialist training and medical education both at a postgraduate and undergraduate level within the Health Board and Cardiff University. Although this post is full-time, consideration will be given to applicants who require flexible working arrangements.
Applicants should either be on the Specialist Register or be a Specialist Registrar within six months of their expected date of receipt of a CCT / CESR(CP) at the time of interview. You will be able to take advantage of the excellent Consultant contract for Wales. The basic salary range for this post is £106,000 per annum to £154,760 per annum.
Applicants must ensure they provide names and contact details of referees covering at least the last 3 years of their employment/training history in full. In addition, applicants who are currently or have most recently been employed as a substantive Consultant or as a Locum Consultant in post for more than 12 months must also provide the name of their Medical Director as an additional referee.
Main duties of the job
Consultant Radiologists work together to provide efficient cover for duties that include responding to urgent clinical queries/emergencies, plain film reporting, supervision/training of radiology trainees on both Llandough and UHW sites, and the supervision/teaching of radiographers/sonographers at both locations. The successful candidate will contribute to weekly MDT meetings. The All Wales Radiology Training Scheme and radiology StR's are based at UHW and work closely with Consultant Radiologists to provide a reliable continuous on-call service. This teaching requirement is an important aspect of the Consultant's job plan and workload. The Health Board is recognised as a teaching centre of excellence in a wide range of clinical services. Academic interests will be encouraged; research and teaching in collaboration with Cardiff University's School of Medicine will be expected.
