You will independently and autonomously undertake a wide range of ultrasound procedures and produce a medical report on at least 95% of those procedures. This must include the generic investigations of obstetrics, gynaecology and abdominal ultrasound and advanced practices, e.g. Transvaginal scanning, and inpatient scanning.

You will act at all times in a manner that upholds the Trust values working as part of the team to ensure that patients and relatives receive excellent care with compassion.

We have 10,000 fantastic people working hard to deliver quality services to our patients. Whatever your role, you help look after 370,000 people in our local area & give specialist care to 1.5 million people across Lancashire & Cumbria.

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.

You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.

You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
