Key responsibilities

• Carry out ultrasound scans: obstetric, abdominal, pelvic and other general scans, on our 3D machine.
• Take good-quality X-rays with correct positioning and exposure.
• Keep to radiation safety rules to protect patients, staff and yourself.
• Prepare patients, explain each procedure and respect their dignity and privacy.
• Write clear, accurate reports and keep complete imaging records.
• Care for the equipment: daily checks, cleaning and prompt fault reporting.
• Work closely with our clinicians and report urgent findings straight away.
