Mammography Associate Practitioner Apprenticeship

Overview

The apprenticeship in mammography is a new route that will enable the mammography associate to undertake routine 2‑view mammograms. You will be trained to perform breast x‑rays of women to aid early detection of breast cancer and to assist during special procedures in assessment clinics, in addition to helping with other breast screening processes as necessary.

This very busy service will require you to work in both static and mobile screening sites on a rotational basis. The post necessitates travel across the area, so the use of a car and a current driving licence is desirable. We are looking for someone with a mature outlook, excellent people skills and an interest in women’s health. This dynamic service would be a great opportunity for an individual looking to enhance their career development in health care.
