About Us
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Clinical Scientist to join our section providing a Nuclear Medicine service to the people of the Highlands, west Grampian and Western Isles. Nuclear Medicine in Inverness is the most northerly in the UK and patients often travel from a distance to attend. We are a small, friendly multi-disciplinary team providing the service.
The Nuclear Medicine service is part of the Medical Physics department and is equipped with two gamma cameras, a GE 870DR and a GE Optima 640 SPECT-CT. Both cameras are linked to a network of GE Xeleris workstations. A comprehensive range of diagnostic studies and out-patient therapies is undertaken. The department has an on-site radiopharmacy operating under a Manufacturing Specials licence (currently suspended). The successful candidate will have an active role as part of the Nuclear Medicine team and be involved in all aspects of the work in the section.
The post holder will also be involved in training technologists and Clinical Scientists on the Scottish scheme for Medical Physics and is expected to contribute to MSc projects and other departmental research work. You should be HCPC registered and, ideally, be able to be entitled as a Medical Physics Expert in Nuclear Medicine. Candidates with less experience will be considered at a lower grade with local training provided.
