Job summary

The radiology department is a thriving, cohesive team looking to expand its Consultant Radiologist workforce. There is a vacancy for a Consultant Radiologist with sub speciality training in neuroradiology.

You would be joining 2 consultants with a neuroradiology interest. We have excellent clinical colleagues comprising 5 stroke physicians, 10 neurologists and 2 neuro-ophthalmologists. The intermediate size of our organisation enables us to maintain close working relations with all our referrers as well as with our neurosurgical centre in Hull, with neurosurgical representation at our neuroscience MDT and harmonised tumour imaging protocols.

We have a large acute stroke unit on the York site and employ RAPID AI to help select patients for thrombectomy (performed in Hull) and extended thrombolysis out of hours. We have implemented AI software solutions to aid reporting of neurodegenerative and MS follow-up scans.

The consultant role entails covering MDTs, acute and cold neuroradiology/spinal reporting as well as general acute and on-call reporting.

The current radiology team have an excellent reputation for providing high quality reports and specialist opinions, in part due to the collaborative and supportive way in which they work. It is a supportive and nurturing department with high rates of retention and job satisfaction.

Main duties of the job

The post is based at York, with an expectation to cover sessions at Scarborough, (currently approximately one day per fortnight). The role includes a commitment to general reporting for acute and cold cases and participate in the on- call rota. Acute CT and MRI reporting is dealt with by a team based within a dedicated acute reporting hub. All Radiologists have a short weekly session as the duty radiologist. On call is currently on a 1:19 rota with registrar support and outsourcing from 9pm weekdays and 5pm weekends.

The radiology department is committed to teaching. We support radiology trainees from both West Yorkshire (Leeds) and East Yorkshire (Hull) training schemes. The department is consistently rated highly by trainees. We have strong links with the Hull York Medical School, providing further opportunities in undergraduate teaching and training.
