We are seeking a full-time permanent Consultant Radiologist with an interest in Cardiothoracic Imaging at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) to support the ongoing expansion of radiology services, in particular within Cardiothoracic radiology.
NUH prides itself on a large lung cancer service, diagnosing and treating 600 new lung cancer cases per annum. It hosts a large tertiary cardiothoracic surgical unit and the regional PET centre.
NUH was among the leaders nationwide delivering a completely radiology led day case ambulatory lung biopsy service, offering direct to home discharge from CT in over 95% of lung biopsies.
There are currently 7 WTE radiologists with a specialist interest in thoracic imaging who provide the primary input to the thoracic service: five Cardiothoracic Radiologists, one diagnostic Thoracic Radiologist with a sub-speciality Head & Neck interest and one Interventional Oncoradiologist primarily involved in lung cancer diagnosis and intervention.
The post will have a commitment to support a range of diagnostic services such as CT, MRI, and plain film reporting and ultrasound examinations.
In addition to the main oncological based MDTs, we support a large number of clinico-radiological meetings involving clinicians, radiologists and advanced practitioners.
The post holder will be expected to participate in under-graduate and post-graduate teaching and training and there will be opportunities for research working with the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre at the University of Nottingham.
With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.
