What will you #BeKnown for?
The main x-ray department is located in the centre of the ground floor of the hospital and is ideally placed to offer a diagnostic imaging service.
The main department comprises six x-ray rooms; there are two fluoroscopy rooms (Philips Xper Allura and Siemens Axiom Sireskop.
The Allura was commissioned in February 2011) and general rooms.
A purpose built x-ray room opened in April 2005 in the A&E Department.
The radiology secretaries include among their responsibilities secretarial support for the Consultant Radiologists.
This includes typing letters etc dictated via Winscribe and reporting is largely VR integrated with PACS.
During the rebuild of the department, a separate reporting room has been created, containing five PACS reporting workstations, and a GE Advantage Windows CT workstation.
On the corridor linking the Nuclear Medicine department with the main department there is a separate duty room, enabling the Duty Radiologist to discuss cases directly with clinicians without disturbing colleagues, and also a CT reporting room with two workstations opposite the CT scanners.
There is a separate dedicated reporting room in the MRI department.
There is also a separate room for trainees and SAS doctors with another three reporting workstations.
Also, within the department is a resource room, which houses the majority of the journals as well as a teaching film library and functions as a meeting and teaching room.
The Trust delivers services to patients seven days a week and aims to provide equality of treatment and outcome regardless of the day of the week.
To meet these aims and changing service requirements, the Trust may need you either to work temporarily outside of your core hours or to permanently change your core working days and hours.
The Trust will give you reasonable notice, where possible, of temporary changes to your days or hours of work and will consult with you and/or your staff representatives about substantial permanent changes, but ultimately, these are changes which may be required of you.
