We have a vacancy for an experienced MRI radiographer to join our team at Royal Hampshire County Hospital and Andover War Memorial Hospital.
There has never been a better time to join our Radiology Department. We are currently investing in the future of our service with a fully managed equipment replacement program throughout the entire Radiology department. In MRI, we are in the procurement phase to purchase 2 new MRI scanners incorporating all of the latest technological advancements and highest specifications available which will result in improved image quality and reduced scan times. The new technology will also allow us to build new protocols which are not possible on the current scanners.
The equipment upgrades will form part of the refurbishment of the entire department which is all very exciting for radiology as a whole.
Responsibilities:
Perform a wide range of MRI imaging examinations encompassing Cardiac, Gynae, GI, Prostate, Vascular, MSK, Whole Body DWI, Neurological and Paediatric imaging. Ensure high standards of MRI imaging and patient care working in a multidisciplinary team. Independently assess and justify MRI referrals following Department policy and guidelines where appropriate. Participate in the out of hours / on call / extended working day service as required. Supervise and assist specialist and junior radiographers and students. Provide senior support to the MRI Lead and provide senior cover during the Lead’s absence. Use professional discretion and experience to ensure that clinical practice is carried out correctly, professionally and within the legal framework. Assist the MRI superintendent in developing the MRI service. Manage a clinical workload and meet deadlines. Undertake personal and professional development. Prioritise workload and regularly reassess to ensure patient needs are met. Give IV injections of MRI contrast agents, including the use of specialist injector pumps. Undertake basic troubleshooting of the department’s digital information systems (e.g., send images using the Web browser, change labels/paper/film in printers, retrieve images from archives). Undertake audit and research activities as required.
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.
Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.
We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.
The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
