Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a qualified Nuclear Medicine Practitioner / Technologist / Radiographer to take a significant role in a busy Nuclear Medicine Department. The Department provides a wide ranging imaging, non‑imaging and therapeutic radionuclide service based at Poole Hospital but serving patients from across Dorset. The department is equipped with two Siemens’ Intevo Bold SPECT/CT scanners and is situated adjacent to the Alliance Medical run PET Centre. Extensive optimisation has been undertaken on these two new scanners to allow full use to be made of their capabilities. The Department supports a progressive cardiac imaging service with Radiographer lead stressing and clinical reporting. Its hybrid imaging service is already providing a contract CT service for parathyroid imaging, and quantitative cardiac amyloid imaging. It actively supports staff training, clinical development, audit, research and attendance at meetings and conferences.

Qualifications and Experience
You will be registered with HCPC (or equivalent) and have significant experience in the field of nuclear medicine, preferably with a relevant post‑graduate qualification.
