Interested in taking on a high-profile role that will help drive improved outcomes and make a difference to the delivery of patient care across Scotland? Have a passion for supporting projects that could help us address the big challenges facing NHS Scotland?

The Centre for Sustainable Delivery (CfSD) has an exciting opportunity for a Radiology Clinical Lead as part of Accelerated National Innovation Adoption (ANIA) Pathway to provide professional expertise specific to the development, design and delivery of the Chest X-ray Artificial Intelligence (CXR AI) Service Evaluation. The Programme will establish a redesigned service delivery model comprising both CXR AI worklist prioritisation and a national reporting team to review all AI-flagged high-risk CXRs following primary care referral within 24 hours and follow up CT scan within 72 hours. By integrating designated reporting capacity with AI-enabled prioritisation, the Programme will assess whether this combined model delivers measurable benefits, including speeding up lung cancer diagnosis and improving performance relating to the 62-day cancer standard in a real-world NHS Scotland setting.

The successful candidate will currently be a registered healthcare professional working in a clinical role within Radiology. You will be able to act authoritatively as a change agent, displaying the highest professional standards, with experience of working with executive and senior managers across NHS Scotland.

The post is available for up to 26 months at 0.2 WTE / 2 sessions per week.
