The vision for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is ‘exceptional care, healthier lives’. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it.

St George Hospital is undertaking a 12 month trial of an innovative approach to diagnostic radiology reporting. The bulk of the image reporting will occur in a separate 'reporting engine'. Distinct shifts have been developed to accommodate other Radiologist functions such as training and supervision of registrars, MDT attendance, consultation with clinical teams, quality improvement, research, etc. These shifts are called Training, Engagement and Governance (TEG) shifts.

Remuneration in 'reporting engine' shifts will be a fee-for-service type model and TEG functions will be sessional (hourly) remuneration. Participation in both aspects of the service will be required. Successful applicants will benefit from increased remuneration, dedicated time to participate in TEG functions and a better work/life balance.

The 'reporting engine' will involve Radiologist's reporting on ED and other examinations from 0800 to 2400 hours each day (2 shifts) with remuneration commensurate with the number of examinations reported and their complexity. It is planned to undertake reporting between 12 midnight and 8am when feasible and if you wish to participate. 'Reporting engine' shifts may occur off site.

Radiologists will also be required to participate, on site, in the TEG functions, in which training and supervision of registrars, participation in MDTs, consultation with clinical teams and quality improvement initiatives are undertaken.

• Perform reporting on ED and other examinations , and optionally 12 midnight-8am.
