Details of the Post
We are seeking to appoint a consultant general radiologist to provide general diagnostic
imaging support for St John’s Hospital and the Western General Hospital. Subspecialty
interests can be accommodated, including general non-vascular interventional work. There
are a number of multidisciplinary team meetings during the week and allowance to attend
those meetings relevant to an individual’s practice is made in job plans. The post will be split
between St Johns (2 days) and the Western General Hospital (3 days) but time may be
allocated to other departments in Lothian, depending on the outcomes from a review of
Radiology Services. Significant developments are also taking place throughout the imaging
service across Lothian and all consultants will be expected to be flexible with their working
patterns.
The new consultant will participate in teaching of undergraduates and specialist registrars,
management tasks and audit. Consultant job plans are reviewed annually by the Clinical
Director or Deputy and adjusted subject to the needs of the Department and the individual by
mutual agreement.
A provisional job plan is given in Appendix 1. NHS Lothian allocates all consultants one SPA
for CPD, audit, clinical governance, appraisal, revalidation job planning and routine internal
communication and management meetings. As a major teaching and research contributor it
would normally expect to allocate additional SPA time for activities to do with undergraduate
education, educational supervision of trainee medical staff, research and other activities.
These are all areas where NHS Lothian has a strong commitment and we recognise the
contribution that consultants are both willing and eager to make. The precise allocation of
SPA time and associated objectives will be agreed with the successful applicant.
On Call: On call covers both WGH and StJH and is currently 1:15, Level 1, 3% availability
supplement. A parallel interventional rota runs currently 1 in 7. Currently some consultants
take 0.5 DCC in their job plan, others time off in lieu, as appropriate. However, with the
installation of PACS across Lothian, on call arrangements across the city are being reviewed.
Study Leave: 30 days study leave over 3 years is granted, or pro rata for those working less
than full time. Funds are available to cover this.
9.
Research and Development
The Directorate is keen to develop strong links with various university departments as well as
academic links with other NHS groups. There are opportunities for collaborative research
with these departments, many of which have strong and established research programmes.
New consultants will be expected to participate in teaching and research, they will be offered
Honorary University status and will be appointed to the University Clinical Teaching Staff. If
appropriate a part time Senior Lectureship maybe offered.
10.
Teaching
SpR training is co-ordinated by the Radiology Postgraduate Training Committee. This is
chaired by the Training Programme Director for the South East Scotland Radiology Training
Scheme, Dr J Anderson, the Educational Supervisors, two junior staff representatives and the
Postgraduate Dean are also included on the committee.
Consultants are also expected to contribute to the teaching of medical students at various
stages of their training.
