The successful candidate will join our Breast Radiotherapy team, supporting radiographer-led services and enhanced practice across the patient pathway.
As a key member of the Breast MDT, you will assess and manage referrals, obtain informed consent for radiotherapy, contribute to MDT discussions and deliver expert patient care for patients from East London and Essex.
