We are seeking a driven and dynamic colleague to join our established interventional radiology (IR) team at Queen Alexandra Hospital. The successful candidate will contribute to the further development of an already comprehensive vascular and non-vascular interventional radiology service, including the 1 in 7 IR on-call service, while also supporting diagnostic imaging and multidisciplinary care.

This post offers the opportunity to work within a large, collaborative Radiology department with strong links to regional training programmes and an expanding IR service.

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust operates within the Wessex Vascular Network, is a Level 2 Liver Centre, and has a catchment population of around 700,000, although the Wessex Kidney Centre, which comprises renal dialysis and transplant services and is based at Queen Alexandra Hospital, casts a wider net with a population of over 2 million falling under this service.

PHU is in partnership with the Isle of Wight NHS Trust which itself serves a population of 140,000, resulting in closer collaboration of services between the two Trusts. Portsmouth hosts the East branch of the Wessex Radiology training scheme and in 2024 the Portsmouth medical school opened., Here at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, we are proud to provide expert, compassionate care for our local population. We are ranked as the third in the country for research, embedding education and training across the organisation. Our main hub is the Queen Alexandra Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals on the south coast employing over 8,700 staff.

Our patients come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes our hospital stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for getting it right for patients, colleagues, and our community, you will find a home at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust
