Imaging, Pathology and Pharmacy services across Salford and Pennine Acute were brought together to create a cohesive diagnostics and pharmacy service, called the NCA Diagnostic and Pharmacy Group (D& P). Since this date we have been transforming and aligning our clinical service to ensure safe consistent and high-quality care across our organisation.

D& P supports the four Care Organisations (Bury, Oldham, Salford, and Rochdale). The Group has approximately 1,700 staff and runs services from multiple sites across the NCA. D& P staff are a diverse and highly skilled group, responsible for the delivery of diagnostic services alongside clinical teams.

The Imaging Quality Safety Manager will lead a small team who are responsible for overseeing all elements of Imaging Governance, Risk Assurance and Radiation Protection, working closely with D& P Governance Manager and D& P Associate Director of Governance.
