This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and appropriately qualified Advanced Practice Radiographer to join a progressive, friendly team. We are a combined breast unit providing both breast screening and symptomatic services, whilst also benefiting from close links to the University of Dundee Breast Research team. We are a fully digital department with 3 static rooms, two mobile screening units and two ultrasound rooms. We also use Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM).
The successful candidate will hold a Pg Cert or equivalent in mammography. You must be HCPC registered with significant post-qualification mammography experience. We are seeking someone who is already fully trained in mammography stereotactic procedures. You will undertake interventional x-ray guided vacuum/core biopsy +/- vacuum excision procedures under indirect supervision. As well as advanced clinical practice as described above, you will be expected to take on a defined package of managerial work and still maintain your mammography knowledge and skills. You may be required to work on a mobile breast screening unit and should therefore be able to travel to various locations throughout Tayside and North East Fife.
We encourage post graduate learning with CPD sessions, attendance at MDT meetings, and the opportunity to attend conferences. Due to the nature of the work this post is open to female applicants only. This provision applies under the sex discrimination act 1975 section 7 (2) (d)
Applicants must possess a BSc in Radiography, DCR or equivalent and be registered with the Health Care Professions Council as a Radiographer. A postgraduate qualification in mammography is essential along with a Post Graduate certificate in Interventional Breast Procedures.
The successful candidate will be well organised, with a high level of attention to detail, ability to make difficult decisions and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
