Building effective relationships with the multidisciplinary Radiotherapy department, and supporting the Lead Dosimetrist and wider planning team in the provision of the Radiotherapy Treatment Planning and Mould Room service, will be fundamental to achieving the high standards expected from this role.
The department has long-standing evidence of research and collaboration, developments in equipment and clinical service, and high commitment to quality and governance; these include implementation of a new and novel image guided treatment for the direct irradiation of rectal cancers using electronic brachytherapy, innovative use of VMAT, 4DCT and image guided treatment techniques.
Our commitment to the utilisation of technology includes the advanced use of electronic quality management systems and extensive use of the Varian ARIA system, which have allowed us to implement innovative process management and paperless working. The department was the first Radiotherapy Physics service to gain UKAS accreditation to the emerging BS70000 MPACE quality standard, evidencing that commitment to the delivery of high-quality clinical service is a core value of the team, and we continue to maintain ISO9001 certification for the entire Radiotherapy service.
The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.
Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.
Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital, for NLAG and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.
As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.
We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
