Job responsibilities

The departments of Radiology at the acute sites operate strategically as one department and there is close collaboration leading to the integration of services. The successful candidate will fully participate with the existing consultants in providing radiology services across Hywel Dda and will be expected to further develop their sub-specialist interest, which would augment and compliment the services currently provided.
