We are seeking a Consultant Radiologist with expertise in Breast Radiology and experience in both general radiology and symptomatic breast imaging. This is an opportunity to join a team of 24 consultants and contribute to the continued development of radiology services across the Health Board. We welcome applications from candidates interested in full-time or less than full-time working, as well as those wishing to focus exclusively on breast radiology. There is also the potential to undertake screening sessions as part of the Welsh Breast Screening Programme delivered by Breast Test Wales. The successful candidate will be based at Bronglais General Hospital, Ceredigion, with occasional travel to Prince Philip Hospital, Llanelli and Withybush General Hospital, Pembrokeshire to support symptomatic breast clinics in line with service requirements. Working alongside experienced radiology colleagues, you will play an important role in delivering high-quality diagnostic services and supporting the continued development of breast imaging pathways across the region. ### Main duties of the job This is a new post based at Bronglais General Hospital, Aberystwyth joining 1 Consultant Breast Radiologist, 1 Speciality Grade Doctor and 1 Consultant Radiographer providing breast radiology services to the population of Hywel Dda University Health Board. The post holder should be competent in mammography reporting, breast and axillary ultrasound, and image guided biopsy of the breast and axilla. It would also be desirable if the Radiologist has experience in additional procedures such as vacuum assisted biopsy/ excision, preoperative localisation techniques, Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) and breast MRI reporting. Experience of contrast enhanced mammography would also be desirable. The post holder will be expected to undertake symptomatic breast assessment clinics and actively participate in the breast MDT. Cross-site collaboration with respect to reporting or MDT meetings is usually done via Teleradiology and video conferencing. Office accommodation, secretarial support and full IT facilities including access to intranet and internet is provided. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities The departments of Radiology at the acute sites operate strategically as one department and there is close collaboration leading to the integration of services. The successful candidate will fully participate with the existing consultants in providing radiology services across Hywel Dda and will be expected to further develop their sub-specialist interest, which would augment and compliment the services currently provided. The successful candidate will participate in the daytime Duty Radiologist rota covering inpatient scanning which could include cross cover from the base site. A proportion of the out of hours (OOH) on call is currently outsourced and completed remotely by an online Teleradiology provider. However, the directorate is currently subject to transformation bringing a proportion of this service in-house. The successful candidate will participate in the new internal on-call rota. This will include providing and promoting a flexible approach by contributing to this service completing cross-site reporting and emergency cover for our four main hospital sites where necessary on site and remotely from home. For full details of the role requirements please see attached Job Description and Person Specification for this vacancy. Discussions around working pattern will take place during initial job planning, where preferences, requirements and options can be discussed and explored in full.
