Main duties of the job

We pride ourselves in the delivery of a State-of-the-Art service, where our patients are at the core of a strategy of delivering high quality individualised treatments in a culturally sensitive, dignified and compassionate environment.

We work in close collaboration with the Vascular Surgeons and are currently involved in commencing dedicated IR Clinics.

Workload is varied, but largely consists of vascular intervention, including a busy endovascular aortic stent program.

We also work closely with the Gynaecologists in offering a UFE service.

We provide a 24-hour interventional service, with dedicated interventional nurses and radiographers across site. Our Angiographic suite is based within the main theatre complex, with the latest angiographic bi-plane unit from Siemens. The on-call IR rota covers interventional emergencies ranging from acute gastro-intestinal bleeds to RTA trauma intervention as well as PPH.

We have recently included pulmonary thrombectomy as in hours service and we have plans to include renal access fistula work as well as RFA intervention in near future.

About us

We're an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we're no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It'll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
