Job Description:

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

NHS Ayrshire & Arran are pleased to invite applicants for the post of Locum Speciality Doctor Breast clinician for the South West Scotland Breast Screening Service. The initial term of service will be for 3 months with the option to extend this by mutual agreement.

We currently have 1 vacancy and the successful applicant will join a friendly and dynamic team of 2 Consultant Breast Radiologists; 1 Associate Specialist; 1 Staff Grade Clinician and 2 Consultant Mammographers. The vacancies are available to those wishing to work solely as a breast clinician or also as a screening mammography reporter.

The breast radiology service is primarily based at the South West Scotland Breast Screening Centre at Ayrshire Central Hospital in Irvine with some services provided at University Hospital Crosshouse. The hospitals are 9 miles apart, 15 minutes travelling time by car and easily accessible with ample free parking. Approximate journey times of 30 minutes each way from Glasgow are often faster than typical journeys to hospitals within Glasgow.

Ayrshire Central Hospital is home to the South West of Scotland Breast Screening Unit and the area-wide DEXA scanning service. Ayrshire Central Hospital is also county’s largest community hospital. NHS continuing care services are provided on-site along with a wide range of outpatient clinics and therapy services.

The breast screening centre at Ayrshire Central Hospital has a friendly outlook and collaborative, collegial atmosphere. The department has excellent integration with clinical teams and there is frequent direct consultation with clinical colleagues face-to-instead or remotely by telephone.

NHS Ayrshire & Arran is accredited with the West of Scotland Deanery and receives Speciality Trainees on a rotational basis (ST1-ST5 level) for general and speciality attachments, with consistently high scores achieved on the annual GMC training survey. Medical students from University of Glasgow also rotate through the NHS Ayrshire & Arran hospitals for general and speciality attachments.

The South West of Scotland Breast Screening Centre screens eligible women aged 50-70 in Ayrshire and Arran and Dumfries and Galloway over a three year cycle. This totals approximately 86,000 women.

Women are screened with two view digital mammography. Viewing is via Philips PACS with access to national PACS for any previous symptomatic studies.

The Terms and Conditions of Service are those determined by the new Consultant Contract (Scotland) 2004 and are offered on a 10 programmed activity basis. This is a part-time post. Extended day and flexible family friendly working patterns will be considered where feasible. Opportunities may exist for Extra Programmed Activities subject to service requirements.

The successful applicants should possess full GMC Registration with a current Licence to Practice and must have recognised qualification in mammography reporting.

Applicants wishing further information about the post, or to arrange a visit, are invited to contact Dr S Henderson, Clinical Director of Breast screening, Tel. [phone], email [emailprotected] or Dr Sudhakar Unnam, Clinical Director, Tel. [phone], email : [emailprotected] .
