The successful candidate will join a dynamic IR team focusing on delivering general and specialist image-guided procedures to patients with advanced cancer, and support medical oncology, radiation oncology, haemato-oncology, and palliative care teams.
The radiology department in CCC currently provides a comprehensive oncological diagnostic service. CCC-Liverpool includes CT, MRI, PET/CT, US, Plain Film and Interventional Radiology. Facilities on the CCC-Wirral site include general radiology, CT, MRI, US, nuclear medicine and PET/CT.
