Are you patient centred in your approach to work and strive to provide top quality images? Would you like to have a rota that enables a great work life balance? If the answer to these questions is yes then you would fit perfectly into our radiographic team here at GHNHSFT.

  This is not a training post and you must have MRI experience scanning:

  MRI: Brains/C-spines/Cauda Equina/MSK/Prostates/Gynae/Small Bowel/dynamic studies/bolus tracking/arthograms and demonstrate knowledge of coils and MRI parameters

  In addition we are starting a Cardiac MRI service so Experience with CT and/or MRI Cardiacs would be desirable but not essential. The post will entail some rotation through CT so experience in this area is also desirable but not essential as full training can be provided.

  CPD is actively encouraged and there are opportunities to learn additional skills in all modalities to ensure that you feel fulfilled in your role.
