## Job Content

### Job overview

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is looking for a Consultant Radiologist with specialist interest in Chest Imaging to support Lung Cancer Screening in a busy and expanding department, predominantly based at he Princess Royal Hospital (PRH), with responsibilities across both hospitals' sites.

Due to a rapidly expanding workload most interests can be accommodated. One cancer MDT is an expectation; a second interest can likely be accommodated. Lung biopsy skills are expected. The posts will include sessions at the two main hospital sites within an overall flexible group job planning format, with an agreed overall sessional make up as described below.

Apart from lung biopsy work, there is currently no dedicated respiratory imaging component such as a formal MDT. There may, however, be scope to develop a non‑cancer MDT in the future, as much of this discussion is presently carried out informally through individual meetings or email correspondence with the chest physicians. The ability to cover the screening MDT would be highly valuable, and there may also be future opportunities to take on the Responsible Radiologist role.

Applications are welcome from candidates who wish to be considered for a part-time or flexible working arrangement. Contribution to an out of hours on call rota is core to this role.

- General radiological sessions will include in and outpatient cross section as well as plain films and body ultrasound. General skills must be maintained to support the acute hospitals’ needs in evening and weekend working.
- Addressing GP and clinician queries and vetting are core to the role.
