AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application—but your answers must be your own.
- Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
- Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
- Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you—not an AI tool.

Band 6 Specialist Radiographer – Cardiovascular Labs and CT Rotation Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you keen to advance your career within fast paced and dynamic imaging departments? Are you interested in working in Edinburgh and surrounding areas? Then working in NHS Lothian Radiology could be for you! The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh is looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic and well-motivated radiographer to join our imaging team in this busy rotational post. The postholder will rotate in 12-week blocks between CT and the Cardiovascular Labs, which include Cardiac Cath Labs and Interventional Radiology. They will be involved in the practical and theoretical teaching of students and radiographers on rotation from the general department. Within the Cardiovascular Labs, the postholder will support a varied and complex range of procedures. This includes diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures, electrophysiology, vascular and non-vascular interventional radiology and emergency procedures including arterial embolisation and primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The role involves close multidisciplinary working with radiologists, cardiologists, nurses, physiologists and other members of the wider clinical team. The department provides 24/7 emergency cover via an on-call service. Within CT, the postholder will contribute to the delivery of a busy CT service at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
