Main duties of the job
The MRI radiographers provide an exceptionally high-quality MR service to patients and take an active role in the training & development of junior colleagues and students.
We cover a very wide portfolio of scans from paediatrics and cardiac, small bowel imaging through to MSK. We do our own protocolling of patient forms and also request and report our own IOFB x-rays.
Successful candidates will be expected to undergo some formal in-house training in MRI as appropriate and cannulation training if not already experienced in this. We all participate in the departmental CPD programme
