Detailed knowledge and understanding of anatomy, general radiographic practices and methods of reducing radiation dose, as well as a working knowledge of ionising radiation legislation (IR (ME) R) is required.
Previous experience in CTor interventional radiology would be extremely beneficial for this role and a post graduate qualification in a clinical speciality, or post graduate specialist short courses, or relevant specialist experience would be desirable. However, CT or Interventional Radiology experience is not imperative, as full training will be given.
Successful candidates will also be expected to train in and undertake CT Colonography examinations. Cannulation training will also be provided if required.
Working knowledge of all relevant professional and NHS policies and procedures is essential, as is the need to have the IT skills necessary for Radiology Information Systems (RIS) and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS).
