The Breast department supports the National Breast Screening Programme for a population of 107,000 ladies equating to screening 34,000 per annum. The Radiologists work alongside a Consultant Radiographer, 2wte Clinical Specialists, Advanced Practitioners, Radiographers and Assistant Practitioners.

    At UHNM the cross-sectional radiologists work closely with their colleagues in Surgery, Histopathology and Oncology through cancer MDTs and joint clinico-radiological conferences. Breast MDTs are established, with cover in rotation between all the radiologists. The MDTs are a full sessional commitment with approximately 110 cases discussed at the main meeting and 30 cases discussed at the additional one.

    About us

    The Imaging Services are based on a strong ethos of Quality assurance, Audit, Evidence and Research. The UHNM Breast service has a long history of active research participation at national level and are currently recruiters for 10 national and international multicentre studies, with grants for 3 local trials in progress SLOANE, KORTUC and ATNEC. We are actively involved, as a pilot Trust, in assessment of AI in breast mammogram reading with support from a third-party AI company.

    UHNM is a research active organisation. There are a large number of active oncology trials, across all cancer groups, many of which require radiology support. The Imaging Department is also building up a portfolio of imaging-based research aligning to the Trust priority to become a major clinical research centre and developing a research interest will be actively encouraged.

    Successful applicants would be expected to actively engage in Governance and Audit and specifically contribute to the Department's on-going QSI accreditation.

    Areas of recent service improvement include Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography, both ultrasound and stereo Magseed localisation, expansion of the VAB service, establishment of high- risk breast cancer screening and the addition of Tomosynthesis.

    We are one of the top ranked trauma unit's in the country and a Consultant job here will provide great exposure to acute body radiology imaging.
