Consultant Radiologist

An exciting opportunity has emerged for Consultant Radiologist(s) with a specialist interest is MSK to join the imaging team at NHS Golden Jubilee, following the opening of the new Surgical Centre which hosts an additional 5 new theatres dedicated to orthopaedic and general surgery, and endoscopy.

NHS Golden Jubilee

NHS Golden Jubilee is one of the NHS Scotland National Special Boards which has a dual role acting as the National Waiting Times Centre providing imaging services to support waiting lists from Regional Boards across Scotland, and as a specialist Heart, Lung, Ophthalmology and Orthopaedic centre. NHS GJ is recognised as a Centre of Clinical Excellence and is home to the West of Scotland Regional Heart and Lung Centre, the only site in Scotland to undertake heart transplantation. NHS GJ undertakes a wide variety of Regional and National Cardiac and General Radiology examinations for NHS Scotland.

NHS Golden Jubilee also hosts the Scottish National Radiology Reporting Service (SNRRS), which supports remote reporting of radiological examinations across NHS Scotland.

The Golden Jubilee University National Hospital

Built in the 1990s, this modern hospital has a unique advantage of the integral Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel, which offers a number of facilities for Hospital and Staff use, including conference facilities, accommodation and leisure facilities. The site also hosts the Golden Jubilee Research and Innovation Centre which supports on site educational and research endeavours, the Centre for Sustainable Delivery which promotes innovative solutions to National challenges, and the NHS Academy, providing training opportunities on site to support national workforce plans.

NHS Golden Jubilee is situated on the banks of the River Clyde in close proximity to Glasgow International Airport and within 30 minutes of the centre of Glasgow by road and rail links. Direct overnight sleeper rail service to Euston, London is available at Dalmuir station 15 minutes from the hospital. Clydebank is on the westerly outskirts of Glasgow in close proximity to the West of Scotland and Loch Lomond. The city has a vibrant cultural life, with first class galleries, museums, sports and leisure facilities.

Imaging Activity & Equipment

The Radiology service performs >80,000 examinations per year, a proportion of which are waiting times activity in the form of CT, MRI, U/S, and Dexa examinations to assist Health Boards across NHS Scotland to reduce waiting times for imaging and comply with the current Scottish Government target of 6 weeks RTT. The remaining workload consists of both inpatient and outpatient activity for the Cardiology, Cardio-Thoracic and Orthopaedic services hosted within the hospital.

The imaging equipment on site within the NHS GJ Radiology department includes 4 MRI Scanners (Siemens), 3 CT scanners (Canon/Siemens), 3 Ultrasound rooms, 4 Plain Film rooms, 1 screening room, 1 DEXA scanner, and 5 Catheterisation Labs.

The Post

The post holder will integrate into the existing team of 23 experienced sessional Radiologists and Imaging Cardiologists from the surrounding Health Boards, and 4 substantive Cardiothoracic Radiologists. They form an excellent support for clinical colleagues and members of the multidisciplinary team.

The role is part-time, for up to 8 programmed activities, flexible on the basis of service need and sub-specialty interest, which are expected to include a blend of cross-sectional imaging and reporting of MSK exams, imaging representation at MDTs, arthrography and interventional imaging/procedures, and ultrasound activity. All out-of-hours reporting and justification is managed by 4ways Remote Radiology Reporting Service, however NHS GJ Radiologists are required to participate in rotational day time weekend and public holiday cover.

There will be exciting opportunities for the post holder to participate in service development, education and research as the phased opening of the new Surgical Centre continues over the next few years for the Orthopaedic and General Surgery services, as well as the continuing expansion of Cardiology and Cardio-thoracic services within the hospital. The close proximity of the NHS Academy and their integration within NHS GJ Radiology may also provide additional opportunities for cross-collaborative teaching and service development.
