Job Description

Applications are invited for an experienced Consultant Breast Radiologist, or experienced Consultant Radiologist with a desire to develop into Breast Radiology, to join our friendly and innovative Breast Centre team based at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness on a 10 PA basis per week. We would also support applications for those wishing to work part time. Some home working will also be available. Out of hours reporting is entirely provided by tele-radiology and there is currently no on-call commitment.
This post is to support the Breast imaging needs for the department, but a wide range of specialist activities are provided within NHS Highland and specialist interests are encouraged. The interested applicant is encouraged to get in touch with the department to discuss further.
You will be working alongside dynamic and supportive clinical colleagues in radiology, nursing and a range of medical & surgical specialties. The hospitals in the Highlands are pleasant and friendly places to work. The Highland Breast Centre is purpose built and integrates both the symptomatic and screening patients in one Department, the first of its kind when it was built in 2004.
You will be part of a team of Consultant Radiologists based in the Highland Breast Centre who provide a comprehensive service for the Screening and Symptomatic patients. In 2022/23, 14,000 women were invited to attend the Breast Screening Service and approximately 280 patients in NHS Highland and the Western Isles are diagnosed with Breast Cancer each year.
Continually developing the skills of our non-medical workforce with three Advanced Practitioners and three Advanced Practice Radiographers undertaking stereo biopsies and one qualified film reader currently in post, we are keen to attract a Breast Radiologist to undertake responsibilities in both the screening and symptomatic services.
As a member of the North Cancer Alliance and the North of Scotland Breast Screening Service we benefit from being in a well-established collaboration with two other Cancer Centres in Grampian and Tayside and the other five Screening Centres in Scotland providing excellent peer support.
The Main Radiology Department is also unusual in the breadth of expertise provided, led by committed Radiologists and prides itself on the high quality of work produced.
We would strongly encourage applicants to contact the service to arrange a visit prior to
short-listing/interview, if selected. For further information please contact:
Dr Nicola Spence, nicola.spence3@nhs.scot or Stephanie Adlinton, Radiology Service Manager, stephanie.adlinton@nhs.scot
Closing date: 18/05/2025
