Quality jobs in United Kingdom

We are an NHS community provider of non-obstetric ultrasound, and we carry out a wide range of ultrasound examinations within GP practices and community hospitals. As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will work alongside clinicians, reporting and guiding their next referrals. We pride ourselves on being an important part of the patient pathway. The clinical role will require a competent and experienced sonographer to manage an Ultrasound list at sites based around our community hospital in Dorking and GP surgeries in a wide variety of locations.

Carry out detailed ultrasound examinations and record diagnostic images to PACS. Interpret and report the findings in a concise and diagnostic format, while maintaining the high‑quality patient care and experience our patients have come to expect. The sonographers run their lists and timings, integrating themselves with their site teams. We want to make the role interesting and varied. EMIS and SystmOne platforms give us access to previous reports, patient history and pathology. So we, as sonographers, can produce a thorough and diagnostic report guiding our clinicians. This also provides us with access for follow‑up, essential to our continued learning.

We are a GP Federation, representing 140,000 patients providing a wide range of quality healthcare services, including elective care, talking therapies, community healthcare and primary care across Surrey. We are registered with the CQC and we are an accredited AQP. We are working at the centre of the local health system to evolve and deliver integrated care, and that requires strong partnerships with many organisations. In all of our services, we aim to put the patient at the centre of their care, make sure our services are easy to access by local patients and reduce waiting times for patients. GP practices have been brought together into Primary Care Networks (PCNs) to offer services in the local community. There are 4 Primary Care Networks as part of the DHC Federation: Redhill Phoenix PCN, Dorking PCN, South Tandridge PCN and Integrated Care Partnership PCN.

You will be registered with a recognised body, ideally a HCPC radiographer with a medical ultrasound qualification and experience of working in the UK. You will be confident in a wide range of ultrasonography competencies and able to work autonomously and carry out independent reporting. We have a full‑time and part‑time role available. This is an exciting time to join, as we have just started our new MSK service with the aim to carry out joint injections in the future. Experience in this area would be an advantage, but transvaginal ultrasound is a large part of our workload. We are a proactive team and are always looking at ways to improve our service and provide the best possible patient experience. We are also keen to be involved and host ultrasound training events.
