We are looking to recruit an experience and motivated individual to join our unique and highly specialised team.
You would rotate through a full range of imaging modalities but with a bias towards interventional and neuro-interventional radiology. The IR department at RLH undertakes a wide range of endovascular, renal, HPB and neuro procedures, and you would receive advanced training to form a part of the team.
Radiographers at RLH also take part in generously paid on-call systems and the successful candidate would be expected to work in the general on-call service in the A&E department, and Mechanical Thrombectomy service in IR. We also offer opportunities for role extension, with radiographers and nurses working independently to fit PICC’s and Hickman lines.
Perform a wide range of examinations of all body areas as required, managing patient priority as appropriate and maintaining a high standard of patient care, respect for dignity and privacy.
Supervise, support and train less experienced radiographers, nurses, students, porters and other support staff.
Assist in managing the varying workload according to need, recognising and respecting the individual needs of staff and patients, but also the current waiting list pressures.
Provide a patient centred service by communicating effectively with patients and other staff members of any potential delays which may occur.
Advise radiologists on the technical capabilities of the IR suites and suggest appropriate protocols/parameters to enable effective therapeutic treatments.
