Consultant in Interventional Radiology

We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, innovative and progressive Consultant to join our Interventional Radiology Consultant team.

The appointee will cover all sites during the on call. Applications are welcomed from candidates with FRCR (or equivalent) who are on the General Medical Council's Specialist Register in Radiology or who will be within six months of obtaining their CCT at the time of interview. In addition applicants should demonstrate within their application that they are fully trained in the generality of Radiology.

Main duties of the job

The postholder will be expected to contribute to the IR service and to take part in the training and supervision of junior radiologists allocated to the Department.

We provide a full range of non-vascular interventional radiology services at City and Sandwell Health Campus at present. There are excellent relationships with clinical teams in many specialities, with a well established pattern of cooperative working. We have a large uterine artery embolization service as well as a service for renal ablation. We are a major renal stone centre in addition to providing acute services to most other specialities. There is an expectation of return of vascular services and working at the Black Country Hub.

Job responsibilities

A 9 bed unit is present in the new MMUH hospital. We also run our own IR outpatient clinic.

The interventional radiologists participate in the Black Country Alliance non vascular IR on call system. This is a 24/7 service, based on BSIR recommendations. SWBH as an institution is on call to perform procedures for four Trusts (Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton and SWB) one in every 3 weekends (Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays) and will participate overnight on one in three weekdays after appointment of additional radiologists. This service is an extension to our successful weekend nephrostomy service, which was shortlisted for a Health Service Journal award.
