Advanced Practitioner - Nuclear Medicine
Job summary
Step into the future of diagnostic imaging with our dynamic and forward-looking Nuclear Medicine department. Based in a modern, purpose-built facility, we offer a wide range of advanced diagnostic procedures, including specialist techniques such as lymphatic SPECT/CT imaging for the Melanoma service.
This is a genuinely exciting time to join our team as we embark on a new phase of growth and innovation. Our department is equipped with two state-of-the-art Siemens Symbia Intevo Bold T16 SPECT/CT gamma cameras, both high-specification systems capable of delivering quantitative SPECT imaging. We are also preparing to relaunch our cardiac imaging service, following a detailed review and further investment in the pathway.
In this role, you will take the lead in delivering and developing our cardiac stress service, playing a key part in shaping its future and ensuring the highest standards of patient care.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will join our dedicated Nuclear Medicine team, undertaking high-quality diagnostic imaging procedures and contributing to the delivery of a patient-centred, efficient service. A key element of this role will be active participation in the cardiac stress testing rota.
While we support Advanced Practitioner roles in both image reporting and cardiac stress testing within Nuclear Medicine, this post has been specifically designed for an individual with a particular interest in leading the cardiac service. You will work closely with the Principal Radiographer to provide day-to-day leadership, ensuring the smooth running and continued development of the service.
You will also be expected to offer expert advice and support to colleagues, contribute to training and service improvement initiatives, and participate in the department's extended working day rota.
