NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Radiographer to join a progressive, friendly team. We are a combined breast unit providing both breast screening and symptomatic services, whilst also benefiting from close links to the University of Dundee Breast Research team.
We are a fully digital department with 3 static rooms, three mobile screening units and currently two ultrasound rooms. In addition, breast imaging services are provided within the Radiology department at Perth Royal Infirmary, which provides an additional mammography room and ultrasound room.
The successful candidate will hold a PgCert or equivalent in mammography. You must be HCPC registered with significant post-qualification mammography experience. We are seeking someone who is already fully trained in mammography interpretation & reporting, and in stereotactic procedures. You will take part in screen-reading as well as symptomatic mammography reporting. Current stereo practice in our department includes wire and wire-free lesion localisations, 14G core biopsies and 10G and 7G vacuum-assisted procedures.
As well as advanced clinical practice as described above, you will be expected to take on a defined package of managerial work and still to maintain your mammography knowledge and skills. You may be required to work on a mobile breast screening unit and should therefore be able to travel to various locations throughout Tayside and North East Fife.
