Why Leeds radiology?
Leeds is a vibrant city and offers something for every interest and lifestyle. It is the perfect place to build a successful career. The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest NHS trusts in the UK and employs over 18,000 staff across seven hospitals on six sites. Interested individuals can look forward to the challenges that a position working as a Radiographer in one of the largest NHS trusts in the UK will bring.
Leeds Radiology offers diagnostic imaging to a wide variety of clinical specialities including Paediatrics, Cardiology, Neurosurgery, Transplant Surgery, Oral & Maxillofacial, Gastro-Intestinal, Elderly Medicine, Urology, Renal and Hepatology. The Leeds General Infirmary is home to the region’s Major Trauma Centre and the St James’s Institute of Oncology is housed in the state of the art Bexley Wing. ‘Hospitals of the Future’ is an exciting project currently underway which involves the building of two new hospitals at Leeds General Infirmary. The buildings will deliver a range of adult health services and be the brand-new home for Leeds Children’s Hospital.
