Radiologists currently have their own offices. The successful applicant will be allocated either their own office or shared with one other consultant. Each office has a dual screen reporting workstation.


The radiology department is a founding member of the Yorkshire Imaging Collaborative and has a very active role in shaping radiology within the region.


Applicants will be provided with a home reporting station providing access to both Harrogate Radiology but opportunity for insourcing across the Yorkshire region.

The are many opportunities for teaching and training. The department has a rotational cohort of radiology trainees from the Leeds /West Yorkshire training scheme.

These are a mixture between general placements and speciality placements with opportunity to increase speciality rotations if an applicant wishes.


Regular medical student rotations through the department also provide opportunity for undergraduate teaching and links to the University of Leeds.


The post will be flexibly time-tabled to meet the demands of the service and take in into account an individual's requirements.

The timing of sessions may change as the service develops. A typical week would be 10 Programmed Activities, including an allocation of 1.5 PA for Supporting Professional Activities. Saturday session will be on rotation when on call. Typically radiologists work on site for 4 days per week.

The on-call commitment will be 1:10. Arrangements are flexible and on-call is organised around individuals' holiday and other commitments.

The consultant is oncall from 8am to 8pm with out-sourcing of acute CT to an external provider after 8pm. Currently approximately 50% of oncalls are with a radiology trainee as the 'first' oncall.

The Radiologists have access to PACS from home for oncall purposes.
