Consultant in Breast Radiology

Overview

This is a breast radiology role requiring a clinician capable of running a busy symptomatic one-stop clinic (with biopsies) on their own and who is also competent to perform NHSBSP work, i.e. film reading and assessment clinics.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a busy symptomatic one-stop clinic with biopsies.
• Carry out NHSBSP work, including film reading and assessment clinics.
• Perform breast interventions, including wide-bore needle biopsy, vacuum-assisted biopsy, and lymph node sampling.
• Ensure all films are double-read; films from the one-stop clinic are read again after the clinic.

Additional information

• There is scope for a small amount of general work; Fridays and another half day may be available if the clinician wishes to keep their hand in, but the emphasis is on the breast service.
• Experience requirement: a candidate with only minor breast-work experience would not be satisfactory; significant breast radiology experience is expected.

Remuneration

The rate will be the NHS Locum rate of £74,504–£100,446 for a 40-hour week (no on-call supplements); this will vary with experience and hours.
