There will be an expectation to travel and work at the other three main sites, including Bronglais General Hospital, Ceredigion which perform non-vascular interventions. This expectation will be occasional in line with service need.
Main duties of the job

The post holder will actively contribute to MDT meetings and be competent in a wide range of non-vascular interventions to include fluoroscopic, ultrasound and CT guided therapeutic and diagnostic techniques such as:

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.
