Job description

A flexible approach to working is essential with the Health Board requirement demonstrated in the job plan section of this document.

The departments of Radiology at the acute sites operate strategically as one department and there is close collaboration leading to the integration of services. The successful candidate will fully participate with the existing consultants in providing radiology services across Hywel Dda and will be expected to build good working relationships which would augment and compliment the services we currently provide.
