    Description

    Job summary

    Queen Alexandra Hospital started life more than a century ago as a military hospital. Today it is one of the largest, most modern hospitals on the south coast, with 1,200 beds housed in light, bright, infection resistant, en-suite wards. With a turnover of close to £600m, we provide comprehensive secondary care and specialist services to a local population of 675,000 people across South East Hampshire. We also offer some tertiary services to a wider catchment in excess of two million people. The Trust employs over 7,300 staff and is the largest employer in Portsmouth.

    Our Trust Vision is Working Together to drive excellence in care for our patients and communities.

    We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated colleagues to join our subspecialist Head and Neck and Neuroradiology team of 3 consultant radiologists. Major interests can be in Head and Neck imaging, diagnostic neuroradiology or both areas.

    You will be expected to contribute towards the general radiology workload and the general on call rota (on a 1 in 14 basis) which includes weekend working, as well as audit, teaching, research and MDT meetings. This is an excellent opportunity for a new CCT holder to commence consultant practice in a supportive environment, or for an experienced radiologist to further develop their career in a busy unit.

    Please note the Job Description, Job Plan and Additional Department Information are pending Royal College approval.

  • Share with colleagues in the training, supervision and support of Radiographers and Ultrasonographers, including skill mix training.
