Job summary

imaging (further details are available from Dr Amir).
The successful candidate will also be required to perform image guided procedures (CT and US) including biopsies. Involvement in inflammatory bowel disease MDT is strongly desirable.
Applicants must have completed specialist training in Clinical Radiology, supported by previous

cover colleagues during annual and other leaves.
