Job Overview
The AAA Screening Programme for Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin has been established since 2012 and continues to offer an excellent service to the residents of Shropshire since its conception.
The primary purpose of this role is to undertake abdominal ultrasound scanning as part of the community AAA screening programme. The post holder will ensure abdominal ultrasound scanning is undertaken to a high standard and in accordance with national standard operating procedures.
The post holder will reassure men attending the community AAA screening and surveillance clinics and explain the screening test to them. The post holder will ensure that the men attending clinics are informed and aware of the implications of AAA screening.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work as a screening technician, carrying out abdominal ultrasound scans within standard operating procedures. Following successful completion of the National AAA Screening Programme (NAAASP) course, the post holder will work independently and make judgements according to experience and training. Advice is available when needed for more complex situations but the post holder generally works on his/her own initiative without reference to the Line Manager. The holder must maintain accreditation with NAAASP. Within the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Programme, Screening Technicians do not work on their own in clinics.
