1 Job Description For Consultant Thoracic Radiologist x3 Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. P a g e 1

2 Applications are invited from enthusiastic and dynamic team players for the appointment of 3 full time Consultant Thoracic Radiologists with special interest in cross sectional imaging and intervention, to work in a dynamic team in a large Thoracic Tertiary Centre at the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. These posts give the opportunities to be involved in many other thoracic services at the North West Lung Centre, North West Thoracic surgical centre, The National Aspergillosis Centre and the North West Heart-Lung Transplant Centre. Additionally, the posts provide an abundance of research opportunities including participating in delivering the broad portfolio of research studies through NIHR Biomedical Research Unit and Thoracic Oncology Research Hub (TORCH) The lung cancer team at Wythenshawe have won numerous awards and have award outcomes pending including for their work around the RAPID Programme and Lung Health Check/Lung Cancer Screening Programme. Following a major expansion in Respiratory services due to increase in lung Cancer diagnosis and treatment, we are seeking 3 enthusiastic, patient facing Consultant colleagues to join our existing team of 7 consultant Thoracic Radiologists (Dr Melanie Greaves, Dr Elaine Smith, Dr Anna Sharman, Dr Rebecca Duerden, Dr Klaus Irion, Dr Devinda Karunaratne and Dr Marie Stokes). One post is a replacement following retirement and there are 2 new posts. Due to the wide range of specialist diseases and imaging performed, any additional training will be provided if required although we are also interested in existing specialist thoracic radiologists. This post has duties primarily based at Wythenshawe Hospital however the new city wide PACS system under procurement will allow reporting across the whole Trust, indeed across the city and also from home, which we see as an important aspect to improve work-life balance. In particular, applicants who are seeking a job-sharing or part-time appointment are welcome to apply. If successful, the job content will be modified in consultation with colleagues and the needs of the service. The appointee must be on the Specialist Register of the GMC, or be within 6 months of CCT at the time of interview. The team provides a high quality, patient-centred delivery of both diagnostic and therapeutic thoracic imaging in close collaboration with clinicians of the North West Lung Centre, North West Thoracic Surgical Centre, the National Aspergillosis Centre and North West Heart-Lung Transplantation Centre. The Trust is seeking to improve cancer diagnosis following a nationally acclaimed pilot in lung cancer screening and provide tertiary review of external imaging to facilitate patient care across all thoracic services. A significant focus of the post-holder s work will be to ensure sustainability of the award-winning RAPID diagnostic thoracic oncology hub that provides prompt radiological reporting and same day histological sampling where necessary. Collaborative reporting of external imaging from South Sector (Leighton/Macclesfield) partners to facilitate improvements in regional working will also be required. In addition, the successful applicant will provide radiology support to the first NHS UK lung cancer screening programme, ensuring high quality reporting of low-dose CT scans, assessment day imaging for positive screens and prompt reporting and next-day biopsy, where appropriate. We have procured CAD nodule follow-up tools to provide triage and ensure ease of follow-up comparisons. P a g e 2

3 The applicant will be expected to contribute to the interventional service that currently performs approximately 40 image guided biopsies (lung & pleural) per month including those referred via the regional Difficult Biopsy Service and in particular to develop fiducial marker placement and thermal ablation of early stage malignancy. Commitment to a broad range of thoracic MDTs will be required, specifically preparation and presentation at twice weekly thoracic oncology MDTs including the regional mesothelioma MDT. Additional MDTs available for regional services include interstitial lung disease, transplant, ECMO, emphysema and asthma. The appointees will be expected to provide cross-cover and take part in regular departmental audit and research activities. The post holder will contribute a single session to acute general radiology and participate in the on-call rota. The thoracic imaging section participates in a broad portfolio of research studies through the NIHR Biomedical Research Unit and the Thoracic Oncology Research Hub (TORCH). It encompasses research of benign thoracic disease and thoracic oncology, the latter focused on early detection, surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy and mesothelioma. The majority of input is through reporting of research scans to RECIST criteria and collaborators in clinical research, but opportunities exist for the post holder to pursue a complementary portfolio, supported by a trials infrastructure, if required. With excellent academic links to the University of Manchester and research into cancer, airways disease and infectious diseases there are substantial opportunities to lead or develop regional and national collaborations. An evidenced interest in teaching is desirable but not essential. Previous experience of establishing/supporting a post-cct thoracic radiology clinical training fellowship would be advantageous. The successful candidates will be required to work effectively and positively within the multidisciplinary team adopting and developing innovative working practices for the benefit of the patient experience. The new Trust which was authorised as Manchester University Foundation trust (MFT) on 1 October 2017 includes Manchester Royal Infirmary Wythenshawe Hospital Manchester Royal Eye Hospital Royal Manchester Children s Hospital Saint Mary s Hospital Trafford General Hospital Altrincham Hospital University Dental Hospital of Manchester Withington Community Hospital Community Services Manchester University Foundation Trust (MFT) is developing as a major cross city health campus and works in partnership with a number of other NHS organisations in offering services at other hospitals. This creates a new and exciting opportunity for the future running and development of services that P a g e 3

4 we offer our patients and will also allow for closer working relationships across Manchester, leading to opportunities for service development and research between the departments. THE TRUST Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) achieved Foundation Status in October The Trust provides secondary and tertiary services for a population in the North West of England of up to 5 million and the Oxford Road site is located 3km south of Manchester City Centre with its rich cultural and sporting heritage and excellent road, rail and air links to the rest of the UK, Europe and internationally. Radiology services across all sites are delivered at both the Oxford Road and Wythenshawe sites having merged to form one large imaging directorate with regional and national aspirations of excellence. The directorate has applied for ISAS accreditation which should be achieved over the next 2 years. Common directorate meetings are being held and cross site PACS access should be available in late 2018/early The Nuclear Medicine departments merged in January 2018 with joint reporting lists and on-call being implemented. Four hospitals are based on the Oxford Road site; previously Central Manchester Foundation Trust: Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester Royal Eye Hospital St Mary s Hospital for Women and the Royal Manchester Children s Hospital. The site has seen completion of a 450m New Hospital Development (NHD) with the rebuilding of the Royal Eye Hospital, St Marys Hospital for Women and new medical wards of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in addition to the opening of the Manchester Children s Hospital. Manchester Royal Infirmary provides all major adult medical specialities including Rheumatology, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Nephrology, Respiratory and Cardiology, Diabetes and Endocrinology. Surgical units include Orthopaedics, Hepato-Biliary, Colorectal, Upper GI, Urology, Renal transplantation, Cardiothoracic surgery, ENT and vascular surgery and has recently been designated as a complex vascular centre. The Manchester Heart Centre sits within Manchester Royal Infirmary and is a major provider of cardiac care with over 10,000 new patients a year not only from Greater Manchester and the wider North West region but also North Wales and the Isle of Man. The centre provides specialist care for adult congenital heart disease. It houses 5 cardiac catheterisation labs and was opened in 2006 as part of the NHD. The Wythenshawe and Withington sites, (previously University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust), provide district hospital services for the local communities and many specialist tertiary services for Greater Manchester and the whole of the North West. The specialist tertiary services include cardiology and cardiac surgery, thoracic surgery, heart and lung transplantation, complex respiratory services, vascular services, burns care and plastic surgery, cancer services and breast care. In partnership with the University of Manchester and other education providers both the merging trusts are recognised regionally and nationally for the quality of our teaching and research programmes. Our strong links with the University of Manchester ensure that we support excellent research in cancer, lung, vascular and gastro-intestinal diseases, tissue and wound management, and medical education.
