About the Role

Supportive Bridge Staffing Agency is partnering with University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) NHS Foundation Trust to recruit permanent Consultant Radionuclide Radiologists with a special interest in PET-CT and Nuclear Medicine.

UHB is a leading regional centre for cancer, trauma, and transplantation. Driven by service growth—particularly within our regional PET Centre housing some of the busiest scanners in the country and a new two-scanner PET facility on the horizon—we are expanding our 66-member nuclear medicine department. With advanced facilities including 3 SPECT-CT systems (such as the UK’s first 64-slice Veriton), an on-site radiopharmacy producing Gallium-68 tracers, and ongoing developments in contrast-enhanced PET-CT and SPECT-CT, this is an exceptional opportunity to shape advanced nuclear imaging services.
