This new post in GIHPB radiology is required to meet increasing demand on the GIHPB and Acute Radiology services. The post will help fill gaps in the service due to loss of DCC from the existing consultant workforce and to increase cold reporting capacity, improve provision of acute services and support the regional tertiary level GIHPB cancer MDTs. It is highly desirable for prospective applicants to have a sub-specialty interest in HPB radiology. The appointee will be required to contribute to the existing diagnostic GIHPB radiology workload and MDT commitment. Specifically, the appointee will be expected to join the small sub-speciality team providing support to the Leeds Liver Unit, one of the largest liver units in the UK. In particular the appointee is required to have experience in imaging assessment for live related liver donors. Contributing to the nationally renowned live related liver transplant service is an essential requirement of the job. The department serves patients under the care of clinicians in tertiary referral specialities including hepatology, hepatobiliary surgery, pancreatic surgery and liver transplantation. The appointee will become a core member of the regional tertiary Liver/Gallbladder and Pancreatic MDTs. They are also expected to contribute to the departments diagnostic radiology on-call service. The GI/HPB radiology service currently consists of 13 consultants, 5 of whom specialise in HPB radiology, 6 in luminal radiology and one in general radiology as well as 3 advanced practice radiographers who support the fluoroscopy and CTC service. The job plan will be subject to review according to the successful applicants training and skills. Overview of Radiology in LTHT The LTHT radiology department is one of the largest in Europe and has an established reputation for clinical innovation and expertise along with a significant teaching and research profile. The department contains one of three national radiology training academies with associated educational facilities and resources for the Leeds Bradford Radiology training scheme. In terms of research the department has helped establish a NIHR funded research 3T MRI as part of the Leeds Biomedical Research Unit contained on trust premises. Within this unit imaging plays a large part in most musculoskeletal projects along with performance of separate radiology specific research. Recently the department has also been successful in obtaining funding for developing and establishing an academic programme focusing on oncology radiology led by a Professor of Radiology. The University of Leeds is a major partner in both of these research streams and is looking to expand the latter with specific academic radiology appointments. In terms of University honorary appointments radiology consultants have formed a large proportion of the recently created Honorary Clinical Associate Professor positions. Research and Education are priorities for the Trust and any new radiology consultant appointed will have the opportunity to explore furthering research and educational possibilities when in post if they wish.
