Would you like to work with a nationally recognised team of GI Radiographers performing and reporting CT Colonography (CTC)? We have an opportunity for a qualified diagnostic radiographer with an interest in CTC to join our team performing and reporting CTCs at enhanced or advanced practice level. A qualification to perform CTC, either at PgC level or with the National CTC Academy (NCTCA) is desirable. Priority will be given to those with a validated reporting qualification and experience, but applications will be considered from those wishing to progress to this level.

If no relevant qualifications are held, training would be provided through NCTCA with completion of Module A and Module B equating to a PgC in CTC. Completion of this training, or equivalent, is a requirement to be eligible for the full band 7 post. At NWAFT we have led the way in the development of Radiographer led CTC services and are proud to be a centre of excellence for NCTCA and winners of Eastern region team of the year 2024 from the Society of Radiographers.

Please note, previous applicants need not apply.
