Job description

Consultant Radiologist with an interest in Chest / Cardiothoracic

We have an exciting opportunity for Consultant Radiologist post with a subspecialist interest in Chest / Cardiothoracic Radiology to join our highly diverse, motivated, and thriving Radiology Department at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. A new post has become available following significant investment in our Community Diagnostic Centre.

The successful candidate will support general radiology, assist in the smooth running of the Directorate, and work with colleagues in the provision of an effective and efficient service. The post will be based at Chorley and Preston Hospital and also our local CDC site, Healthport.

The candidate should have completed the radiology training (within 6 months of CCT or have obtained CESR) and should have sufficient skills to be able to independently report MRI, CT and US examinations within their areas of subspeciality expertise.

You will join a committed and friendly team of 5 Chest / Cardiothoracic Radiologists with various subspeciality interests including cardiac imaging, lung biopsy, ILD, PET/CT and Post‑mortem CT. The team currently supports 13 Chest physicians, with whom we have a close relationship, also with a wide variety of clinical interests, including lung cancer, ILD, asthma, interventional bronchoscopy and pleural intervention.

There will be opportunities to develop any of these further as well supporting expanding clinical interests such as the pleural service and innovative interventional bronchoscopic techniques. There are weekly Lung Cancer MDTs, a general chest clinico‑radiological MDT and bi‑monthly regional ILD MDTs. LTHTR is a cancer centre and is the central hub for the regional ILD service.

Duties will include all those duties normally expected of a radiologist in a similar sized Radiology department in the United Kingdom. The majority of the appointee’s time will be spent on clinical duties. In addition, the appointee will be expected to take part in formal teaching and on‑going audit programmes within the directorate as well as a full range of management duties commensurate with this role.

The successful candidate will also be expected to provide cross‑sectional imaging reporting and support for various MDTs. The post will involve 10‑programmed activities of imaging support (8 DPAs plus 1.5 SPAs and 0.5 for on‑call).

The Radiology Directorate comprises Radiology, Neuroradiology, Ultrasound, Vascular (general) Interventional Radiology, Chest Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, including SPECT scanning and Oncological Radiology and Mammography service.

As a member of our team you can expect that:

• You will continue to develop your career working with a collaborative and supportive team working alongside innovative and nationally renowned clinicians who are specialists in their field.
• You will be an integral part of MDT and the clinical team.
• You will be involved in teaching and supervision of trainees, undergraduate medical students and other learners.
• You will have access to office space and secretarial support.
• You will have flexible working opportunities.
• You will have protected time to develop your specialist interests in audit, research and education; this will be agreed through the job planning process.
