The Roles
CONSULTANT NEURORADIOLOGISTS X 3
(with a sub specialist interest in interventional neuroradiology)
BASE: INSTITUTE OF NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES (INS), QUEEN ELIZABETH UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL CAMPUS
LOCATION: GLASGOW
SALARY: £76,761 - £ 103,490
RELOCATION PACKAGE WHERE APPROPRIATE
Applicants are invited for 3 Consultant Neuroradiologists (with a sub specialist interest in Interventional Radiology) posts based at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s Institute of Neurological Sciences (INS) which is situated on the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus. The INS is a tertiary and quaternary referral centre providing both regional and national clinical services.
Joining our team of Consultant Neuroradiologists, these posts represent an exciting opportunity to provide experience and support to our existing team who have a respected reputation in developing the unique profile of the INS‘s specialist services for regional and national patients.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is the largest health organisation in the UK providing a full range of primary, secondary and tertiary services whilst national services are provided to the whole of Scotland.
The last four years have seen a significant and challenging programme to transform how we deliver our Acute Services. At the centre of this is a £1billion acute modernisation programme which included the opening in spring 2015 of the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and the new Royal Hospital for Children.
Integral to this programme is the development of a £50 million clinical research infrastructure, which has resulted in one of the world’s most advanced centres for stratified medicine. This provides a focus for innovation in a clinical setting by bringing together Clinical Scientists, NHS Clinicians and industry partners in one place. Significant opportunities exist to pursue academic and clinical teaching interests due to the close links with the Medical School based at University of Glasgow.
The INS also houses dedicated research scanners 3T MRI and Toshiba/ Aquilion One Vision Next Gen. Work is also underway to provide a 7T MRI scanner in the dedicated research unit on the QEUH Campus.
We are looking for enthusiastic colleagues who command credibility with their peers and who can provide experience and support to our existing team of Neuroradiologists providing a range of interventional and diagnostic procedures, covering adult and paediatrics. Strong interpersonal, communication and influencing skills will be important.
Given the existing opportunities within Diagnostic Imaging and the emphasis on R&D within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde there is an opportunity for the provision of an Imaging Chair given the right calibre of candidate.
As the INS is a large department these roles would suit newly qualified or established consultants along with capacity for candidates to pursue other subspecialty interests whilst meeting service needs.
Applicants must be on the GMC specialist register (or within 6 months of receiving a CCT in Clinical Radiology) at the time of interview.
Interested candidates are invited in the first instance to discuss the posts with Lorraine Porteous at our recruitment partners, Aspen People, on 0141 212 7555 or email mscholes@aspenpeople.co.uk
Informal enquiries to the department will be encouraged and arranged to suit candidate’s availability.
