Description

Applications are invited for a full time Consultant Radiologist post specialising in PETCT and general radiology, which has arisen from the increasing PET activity and outstanding unfilled sessions within the department. The appointment offers an opportunity to strengthen an established Nuclear Medicine team, which consists of 9 radiologists - three of whom are dually qualified as Nuclear Medicine Physicians as well as Clinical Radiology.
The mainstay of the post will be PETCT reporting (up to six sessions), with FDG and non FDG tracers, including Ga-68 DOTATATE and Ga-68/F-18 PSMA tracers. The post will include general radiology sessions (up to two sessions), and the successful candidate is expected to support and participate in departmental objectives which includes ultrasound scanning, duty/urgent radiology reporting, weekday evening and weekend support for trainees, and may include the provision of extended-day consultant lead reporting and general on-call in the future.
The post will be based at the Charing Cross, Hammersmith and St Mary’s campuses, but may change in view of the Trust site and clinical strategy reviews which are on-going. The post holder will also be expected to play an active role in trainee supervision – as a clinical or educational supervisor - and teaching as well as close liaison with clinical staff, and have ambitions to take on various management roles in the department. Rapid access and scan turnaround times, as well as efficient and safe inpatient and emergency workload, are key priorities for the department as a whole.
At Imperial College Healthcare you can achieve extraordinary things with extraordinary people, working with leading clinicians pushing boundaries in patient care.
Become part of a vibrant team living our values - expert, kind, collaborative and aspirational. You’ll get an experience like no other and will fast forward your career.
Benefits include career development, flexible working and wellbeing, staff recognition scheme. Make use of optional benefits including Cycle to Work, car lease schemes, season ticket loan or membership options for onsite leisure facilities.
We are committed to equal opportunities and improving the working lives of our staff and will consider applications to work flexibly, part time or job share. Please talk to us at interview.
The Trust offers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic Nuclear Medicine services including PETCT, general Nuclear Medicine studies, SPETCT, and radionuclide therapy. The Nuclear Medicine department is dynamic and innovative, specialising in non-FDG tracers – such as amyloid brain PET, Ga-68 DOTATATE & PSMA, F-18 choline – as well as the mainstay of the service with F-18 FDG.
The Nuclear Medicine department is the leading centre in the UK in amyloid PET imaging in dementia, was also one of the first in the UK to introduce Ga-68 DOTATATE PET into clinical practice, and an accredited European Centre of Excellence for Neuroendocrine Tumours. The Trust is embedded in the NHSE Phase 2 PETCT contract in collaboration with the RM Partners PET consortium, which has seen a steady growth in PET activity over several years, and implemented rapid scanning and reporting turnaround times, including a FDS lung service.
Currently, the Trust has one digital PETCT based at Charing Cross Hospital. In order to continue delivering an effective PET service, we are currently in the process to add a second PETCT on the Charing Cross Hospital campus, to go live in 2026. We have also recently upgraded our NM specific software system, which is used throughout the department and will also be a reference site for the vendors
