Consultant Neuroradiologist | Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Role Overview

The highly regarded and forward‑thinking radiology department at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a radiologist with a specialist interest in diagnostic neurological imaging, ideally with a secondary interest in head and neck imaging. This is primarily to support the stroke and neurology services in the trust. These are mainly centred in Winchester, where the hyper‑acute stroke service is located.

• The role also involves a share of the general workload in the department, with general cross‑sectional and ultrasound imaging, taking part in the acute rota and consultant‑led on call at either Basingstoke or Winchester.
• The post is primarily to support the neurological imaging at HHFT, in particular the highly regarded stroke service. Support for the ENT service would also be welcomed, particularly with head and neck ultrasound and FNAs.
• There will also be a need to support the general rota with both acute and outpatient reporting, including supporting the on‑call rota. While on call will be based on one site, there may be a requirement to perform sessions at any of our three main sites.

The post is funded for up to 10 PA incorporating up to 8.5 sessions of DCC (including approximately 0.9 PA on call) and 1.5 sessions of SPA. A detailed job plan will be agreed after successful appointment and before starting in post.

Personalised job plans are negotiable and subject to change according to service need. The individual job plans will depend on the skills and preferences of the successful candidate. HHFT are happy to consider flexible working in support of work/life balance.

We are in an exciting transition phase for the department as we continue a 10‑year, £40million programme of equipment replacement and department refurbishment.

Our two acute sites at Basingstoke and Winchester, provider radiography, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, MRI and interventional radiology services, most standard clinical specialties are provided at both sites. The Winchester site houses the hyper‑acute stroke unit for the trust and is developing a cardiac CT service.
