Staff Nurse - Patient Services

Medical Imaging Partnership Ltd (MIP) provides high-quality diagnostic imaging services, including MRI, CT, X-ray, Ultrasound and DEXA scanning, across NHS and private sector settings throughout the South Coast. We are dedicated to delivering safe, efficient and patient-centred imaging services that meet both clinical and operational excellence standards.

The service operates as a predominantly adult-focused private outpatient department, with a limited and clearly defined paediatric outpatient provision. The post holder contributes to the safe, effective and responsive delivery of outpatient care and supports consultant-led clinics in accordance with professional and regulatory standards.

• Registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as an Adult Nurse.
• Dual registration (Adult and Children's Nursing) is acceptable; however, registration as an Adult Nurse is essential for this role. The post holder must maintain active registration and comply with the NMC Code at all times.

The post holder will practise in accordance with the NMC Code, RCN guidance on cross-field working, CQC Fundamental Standards and organisational policies and procedures. Practice must remain within the scope of Adult Nurse registration and assessed competence.
