Job content

Salford Care Organisation has vacancies for Consultant Diagnostic Neuroradiologists to support and develop the neuroradiology service. All sub-specialty interests can be supported, but we would particularly welcome applicants with an interest in Skull-Base or Head and Neck Radiology.

The successful candidate would be expected to participate in MDT and also contribute to the diagnostic neuroradiology on call. We are committed to developing a flexible approach to job planned activity, including home reporting and all of our consultants now have home workstations.

A new PACS has been implemented across the NCA in February 2021, as part of a wider collaboration with hospitals across Greater Manchester, leading to region-wide image sharing.

Salford hosts the Manchester Centre for Clinical Neurosciences and the Comprehensive Stroke Centre for Greater Manchester. Intra-arterial (IA) treatment for acute stroke is supported 24/7.

Salford Neuroradiology supports the nationally commissioned proton beam therapy services, currently serving the whole of the UK in conjunction with a second centre in London. We are home to one of the largest skull base services in the country. We provide services to the nationally commissioned Neurofibromatosis type II (one of four national centres) services. Salford is the regional centre for spinal surgery and serves a population of 3.2 million. We support the ENT and maxillofacial departments at SRFT, Manchester Foundation Trust (MFT) and North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH), including both Head and Neck (H&N) cancer MDTs (MFT and NMGH).

The Diagnostics and Pharmacy Group is part of the Northern Care Alliance (NCA), one of the largest NHS organisations in the country.
