Specialist Radiographer in Mammography

The unit is forward-thinking and committed to embracing new technology and developing innovative approaches to breast imaging. It is a reference site for Hologic and Sectra equipment within the region, and the service also provides contrast-enhanced mammography as part of its breast imaging provision.

Breast screening is delivered across North Yorkshire using three mobile mammography units, covering more than 21 locations throughout the county, alongside static screening facilities in York and Scarborough.

The service provides two second-stage screening assessment clinics each week, with clinical assessment supported by Breast Care Nurses and biopsy procedures undertaken by Advanced Practitioners. We also provide three one-stop symptomatic clinics and five symptomatic follow-up clinics each week.

We have a strong commitment to role development and advanced practice. Working alongside our Specialist Breast Radiologists, the team includes four Consultant Radiographers and six Advanced Practitioners, with advanced and extended roles across film reading, biopsy and breast ultrasound.
