Overview

Interventional Consultant Radiologist

Job Plan Commitment: 10 PA

We are looking for an Interventional Consultant Radiologist to join the Radiology team at GWH. The posts are full-time, but we would consider part-time applicants.

The Radiology department is well-equipped, with two 128-slice Siemens CT scanners, two 1.5T Siemens MRI scanners, digital screening rooms and updated US machines. We also have a recently installed SPECT CT and a new dual-source Cardiac CT scanner. CT and MRI vans/static scanners support additional workload at our Community Diagnostic Centre in West Swindon.

The Breast Centre is the base for the Wiltshire Breast Screening Service for Swindon, North and West Wiltshire. We screen nearly 100,000 ladies over a three-year cycle. There are two screening vans and a static facility at the Great Western Hospital. The Breast Centre also provides a symptomatic service for Swindon and Wiltshire. The department has Hologic mammography units with tomosynthesis. We are setting up a contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) service shortly. Localisations are usually done with Magseed.

The Radiologists are a happy, functional and hard-working team. It is important to note that there is a private practice which works as a co-operative.
