Consultant Radiologist - Non-Vasc. Interventional Radiology

at  Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust

Applications are invited for a Consultant Radiologist to join a friendly, forward-thinking team of 32 Consultant Radiologists at the Royal United Hospital Bath;

• Consultant Radiologist with specialist interest in Non-Vascular Interventional Radiology (10 PAs) - This is a replacement post due to job plan changes in the interventional radiology department. This post will help meet the increase in demand for interventional and diagnostic radiology services and to help us establish and provide an interventional oncology service.

The post is full time but part time is also encouraged. The post includes participation in the evening and weekend and IR on-call rota (participation in the diagnostic on-call rota optional). Home PACS links are available.
The RUH is a busy district general hospital serving a population of 500,000. The RUH has Interventional Radiology suite which contains a Phillips Allura Clarity installed in 2015 with single slice CT. There is also an AGFA DR 800 in our Fluoroscopy room where certain procedures can be undertaken. The Radiology department, following recent development, has 1 PET-CT, 4 CT scanners and 3 MRI scanners.
Candidates are encouraged to visit the hospital and can make arrangements through contacting the Clinical Lead: Dr Gary Cross (gary.cross@nhs.net) or Dr Robert Colliver, Consultant Interventional Radiologist (robertcolliver@nhs.net)
The candidate must be able to provide a range of non-vascular interventional radiology procedures and ideally will be competent in haemorrhage control. This role also demands a good level of diagnostic radiology competence and another specialist area of interest is encouraged but not essential.
The case mix in interventional radiology at the RUH predominantly comes from our busy Urology, Gastroenterology and Surgical departments and from the wide range of Oncology patients. Approximately 1300 IR procedures are performed per year. With this appointment we will provide a 1:5 IR on call service between 08.00-17.00 seven days per week. Our aim is to establish an interventional oncology practice providing thermal ablation and some elective embolisation.
