Job description
Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a consultant radiologist to join our team at Barking, Havering, and Redbridge University Hospital Trust.
This is a new 12-month fixed term (locum) post and has arisen due to an increase in demand for radiology services as a part of expansion and newly started community diagnostic centres.
Intervention skills are not mandatory.
We pride ourselves in the delivery of a State-of-the-Art service, where our patients are at the core of a strategy of delivering high quality individualised treatments in a culturally sensitive, dignified, and compassionate environment.
Main duties of the job
Locum Consultant General Radiologist with Interest in Paediatric Imaging
The advertised post is to support general radiology with some contribution to paediatric radiology. The successful applicants should have completed training in diagnostic radiology and must have experience in paediatric radiology and or a fellowship in paediatric imaging.
Workload is varied, but general radiology largely consists of supporting inpatient / AE service, and outpatient cross-sectional imaging and ultrasound / FNAs.
Contribution to paediatric radiology services include supporting paediatric X-ray and ultrasound sessions apart from cross-sectional imaging.
There are weekly / biweekly / quarterly MDTs which also serve as an educational resource for trainees and allied health professionals.
MDTs are shared amongst the radiologists as per general and subspecialty interests.
Working for our organisation
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E; performance in 2023 / 24;
we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal.
Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.
Many of our 8,000 staff who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups.
More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es; in 2023.
Patients across northeast London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams.
It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
