Breast Radiology Clinical Fellow

An exciting opportunity has arisen for Breast Radiology Clinical Fellow to complement our established and experienced Breast Radiology team.

The University Hospital of North Tees houses a modern, purpose breast unit which runs the regional screening and symptomatic breast services across Stockton, Middlesbrough, East and South Durham, Hartlepool and the surrounding areas, making it one of the top five largest breast units in the country.

The screening service screens over 55,000 women every year and diagnoses around 320 cancers per year.

The symptomatic service sees approximately 8,000 referrals per year, diagnosing around 600 cancers.

The team are proud of the first-class breast screening and symptomatic service they provide.

The successful candidate will need to be a fully trained radiologist with breast radiology training and experience gained within the UK or overseas. This is a Resident Doctor (LED) post at the grade of MT04 to MT05 (ST3+ equivalent) - depending on the successful candidate.

Role

The candidate will undertake a minimum of 20 hours of breast radiology. Candidates who wish to work entirely within Breast Radiology or those who wish for a more mixed Breast/General Radiology role will be considered:

• Candidates employed wholly within Breast Radiology will not be expected to participate in an out of hours provision of services.
• Duties of the General Radiology role would include participation in the general radiology on- call service (currently 1:12), supported by overnight outsourcing (Nighthawk). There is no requirement to perform complex intervention (such as nephrostomy) out of hours.

The General Radiology service is well equipped, with modern facilities including multiple Dual and Single Source Siemens CT scanners, 3T and 1.5T MRI scanners, SPECT-CT and recently upgraded ultrasound facilities. Philips (Carestream) PACS was installed in 2020 with regional image sharing via a Global Worklist. Fully specified home workstations are provided for general radiologists to support insourcing and home working.

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust now form the University Hospitals Tees and as such you may be required to work at any site across both Trusts.

At North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust our main priority is, and always will be, to provide safe and high-quality care to our patients every day; the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. We want our organisation to be the best place to work with the right staff, in the right roles, at the right time, to ensure we deliver exceptional patient care and experience.

We will support staff through providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; as well as performance reviews and appraisals, we recognise staff through Star and Team of the month, colleague recognition – a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars and Service Awards.

We support the Making Every Contact Count approach to behaviour change in the promotion of health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.

We recruit for values and “Together we are North Tees & Hartlepool”.
