We are looking for motivated assistant practitioner to join our team at the West of Scotland Breast Screening Service. The West of Scotland Breast Screening Service (WSBSS) offers mammography screening to 300,000 women on a three - yearly cycle either at the static centre or on one of seven mobile units. Between 4% and 5% of women screened are then invited for further assessment to review clinics held in the static centre in Glasgow. The geographical area covered by WSBSS includes Greater Glasgow, Argyll and Clyde, Lanarkshire and West Forth Valley Health Boards.

Diagnostic imaging equipment is used to complete mammography screening; a result is sent to each individual and copied to her General Practitioner. Where necessary, further assessment including image guided biopsies are carried out to assist in the diagnosis, treatment and care of disease, and where appropriate women are referred to specialist surgical units. The post holder will be expected to deliver a high quality, person centred, effective and efficient Mammography screening service including provision of direct care to all women attending the service. This is undertaken under the direction and supervision of a state registered practitioner. It would be desirable if you have previous NHS experience.

This post may be an Annex 21 post depending on the qualifications of the preferred candidate.
