The post holder will undertake advanced practice across multiple modalities, demonstrating high-level knowledge, clinical reasoning, and experience. The unit diagnoses nearly 600 new breast cancer cases annually and provides imaging support for four breast surgeons.

Requirements include a BSc in Radiography or equivalent, with at least 3 years of Advanced Practitioner experience in breast imaging, HCPC registration, and a Certificate of Competence or Post-graduate Award in Mammography.
