Job description Job responsibilities

The New Post

We seek one 10PA clinical diagnostic neuroradiologist who has a specialist interest in paediatric neuroimaging and is keen to join our neuroradiology service. The post will allow us to continue to provide robust cover in certain subspecialist areas, namely paediatric neuroimaging, neuro-oncology and epilepsy.

General duties

The 10PA post will include general adult and paediatric neuroradiology reporting sessions (St Georges and DGH), 1.375PA SpA (1 PA for CPD and 0.375 PA for teaching), and sharing in the diagnostic on call rota (intended to be 1:8 with prospective cover, Category A, 5%).

Paediatric Neuroimaging

Paediatric duties will include supervision and reporting on regular lists of GA MRI cases, sharing in reporting of paediatric cases undertaken at other times and taking part in the weekly paediatric neurology meeting held in our department. The paediatric neuroradiologists also attend a monthly neurogenetics meeting with colleagues in clinical genetics and paediatric neurology.

Although there is not a formal paediatric neuroradiology rota, it is desirable that wherever possible there is co-ordination of leave and cross cover of reporting and other duties between the paediatric neuroradiologists.

Neuro-oncology

There are currently four weekly adult neuro-oncology MDMs at St Georges Hospital: Primary Brain, Metastatic Brain, Skullbase/Pituitary and Spinal. The MDMs are attended by colleagues in neurosurgery, neurology, neuropathology, neuro-oncology from Royal Marsden and Royal Surrey County Hospitals, clinical nurse specialists and other disciplines.

The paediatric neuro-oncology MDM is a joint South London meeting that is held weekly via video link with colleagues at Kings College Hospital and Royal Marsden Hospital.

Several consultant neuroradiologists currently take part in the adult and paediatric neuro-oncology MDMs. Appropriate time allowances for preparation and meeting attendance are included in our job plans.

Epilepsy

There is an epilepsy surgery service at St Georges Hospital. There is a telemetry/epilepsy surgery meeting once a month to discuss prospective surgical candidates. We also hold six monthly joint meetings with the Epilepsy Surgery Group at Kings College Hospital.

Advanced imaging techniques

A willingness to develop expertise in the use of advanced imaging techniques in clinical patients is desirable and would be encouraged.
