The post-holder will work closely with the current members of these two teams delivering the core aspects of these services and also help provide additional capacity for ongoing increase in demands and some of the anticipated future increase for example the anticipated increase in activity for the chest team with the roll-out of lung screening and the plans to develop a one-stop neck lump clinic. The post-holder will also have an essential role in adding to the Teams capacity in supporting several MDTs including three cancer MDTs Lung, Head & Neck and Thyroid & Parathyroid and several benign Chest Meetings. The Chest and Head & Neck Radiology teams have an excellent record in supporting training and teaching within the department. The post-holder will allow the teams to offer additional capacity for training and teaching. The postholder will also be a part of the diagnostic on call rota group which currently has a shortfall (covered from within the group) and offer further flexibility and cross-cover for acute CT services.
