Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint a substantive Consultant Breast Radiologist to join the Breast Imaging team. This full-time post is primarily based at the Princess Anne Hospital and is suited to a candidate with specialist training in breast imaging and experience working within the NHS Breast Screening Programme. You will join an established team of consultant breast radiologists, advanced practitioners, and trainee consultant radiologists delivering symptomatic, screening, cross-sectional, and oncoplastic breast imaging services, contributing to patient care, multidisciplinary working, education, audit, and clinical governance within a large teaching and research Trust.
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
You will independently undertake symptomatic breast one-stop clinics, breast screening assessment clinics, and breast imaging procedures including ultrasound-guided and stereotactic-guided biopsies. The role includes reporting symptomatic and surveillance mammography, breast MRI, and participation in breast multidisciplinary team meetings, teaching, audit, continuing professional development, and clinical governance activities. The post also includes up to 2 programmed activities of non-breast/general radiology work, with optional participation in the consultant on-call rota.

This includes a detailed breakdown of the key responsibilities, role expectations, and the qualifications we are looking for.
