An exciting opportunity has arisen for Breast Radiology Clinical Fellow to complement our established and experienced Breast Radiology team.

The University Hospital of North Tees houses a modern, purpose breast unit which runs the regional screening and symptomatic breast services across Stockton, Middlesbrough, East and South Durham, Hartlepool and the surrounding areas, making it one of the top five largest breast units in the country.

The screening service screens over 55,000 women every year and diagnoses around 320 cancers per year.

The General Radiology service is well equipped, with modern facilities including multiple Dual and Single Source Siemens CT scanners, 3T and 1.5T MRI scanners, SPECT-CT and recently upgraded ultrasound facilities. Philips (Carestream) PACS was installed in 2020 with regional image sharing via a Global Worklist. Fully specified home workstations are provided for general radiologists to support insourcing and home working.
