Milton Keynes is one of the UK's fastest-growing cities, offering excellent transport links, vibrant cultural and leisure facilities, and extensive green space, with approximately a quarter of the city made up of parkland and woodland.
As a Radiographer at MKUH, you will undertake a broad range of imaging examinations while maintaining the highest standards of patient care, safety and professionalism in line with the Trusts core values. You will work collaboratively with colleagues across the multidisciplinary team and contribute to the training and development of students, apprentices and learners.
We actively support career development, role extension and advanced practice opportunities. Rotations through CT, MRI, Interventional Radiology and Cardiology may be available. Our department also has established reporting radiographers covering MSK, chest and abdominal reporting.
The postholder must hold a BSc (Hons) Radiography, or DCR(D) Diploma of the College of Radiographers or equivalent in Radiography and be HCPC registered.
You must demonstrate excellent communication and organisational skills. Be committed to continuing professional development. Have a good understanding of radiation protection, IR(ME)R and relevant health and safety legislation. Be able to work effectively both autonomously and as part of a multidisciplinary Team.
Milton Keynes University Hospital, in proud partnership with the University of Buckingham, is a University Teaching Hospital committed to advancing patient care through cutting-edge research and education. With a "Good" rating from the CQC and significant investment underway, this is an exciting time to join our team and grow your career.
As a medium sized general hospital, we provide a full range of general medical and surgical services, including a busy Emergency Department, Maternity, and Paediatrics. As the population of our city and surrounding areas continues to grow rapidly, we are expanding and enhancing our facilities to meet rising demand and improve access to care for all our communities.
We are also proud to offer a growing portfolio of specialist services. In January 2025 we opened our state-of-the-art Radiotherapy Centre, bringing advanced cancer treatment closer to home. Our services also include neonatology, specialist surgical care, and a wide range of diagnostics, supported by the new Community Diagnostic Centre at Whitehouse Health Centre. We have just opened the Oak Wards - a new ward block featuring two 24-bed wards.
Further investment is underway, including the recently approved Women and Children's Centre, set to open by 2030.
