The role

As a Senior Mobile Radiographer, you will be at the heart of our operations, delivering high-quality CT services. As a Senior Mobile Cardiac CT Radiographer, you will initially work alongside experienced cardiac CT practitioners while completing your structured development programme.

Once fully trained and signed off, you will be able to independently deliver a safe, effective and patient-focused radiographer-led cardiac CT service.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering high-quality general and cardiac CT imaging across Medneo’s nationwide mobile services
• Assessing patients’ suitability for cardiac CT and identifying clinical risks or contraindications
• Reviewing heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, medical history and relevant medication
• Preparing patients and explaining the procedure, including medicines and contrast administration
• Safely administering glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and beta-blockers under the appropriate PGD or agreed clinical protocol
• Undertaking intravenous cannulation and administering contrast media safely
• Recognising and managing adverse reactions, including contrast reactions and complications associated with cardiac medicines
• Selecting and adapting cardiac CT protocols according to the patient’s clinical presentation, heart rate, rhythm and body habitus
• Performing coronary artery calcium scoring and CT coronary angiography acquisition
• Perform adapted gated studies, such as graft studies and Tavi's
• Using prospective and retrospective ECG-gated acquisition techniques, ensuring the correct bespoke padding is applied to CTCA's & gated studies
• Optimising image quality while minimising radiation dose in accordance with IR(ME)R requirements
• Monitoring patients throughout the pathway and providing appropriate post-procedure observations and aftercare
• Maintaining accurate clinical documentation and escalating concerns appropriately
• Supporting and mentoring other Radiographers as they develop their cardiac CT competencies
• Travelling nationally and adapting confidently to different clinical locations and working environments

Our Bespoke Cardiac CT Training Programme

We will provide a structured programme combining supervised clinical practice, theoretical learning, competency assessment and formal sign-off.

The programme will develop your knowledge and practical skills in:

• Cardiac anatomy, physiology and common cardiac conditions
• Patient preparation, assessment, clinical history and suitability for cardiac CT
• ECG interpretation and recognition of common rhythms and arrhythmias
• Heart-rate control and optimisation before scanning
• Safe administration of GTN and beta-blockers
• Indications, contraindications, side effects and escalation requirements for cardiac medicines
• Contrast administration, reaction management and patient safety
• Cardiac CT acquisition techniques, including ECG gating, padding and bolus timing
• Calcium scoring and CT coronary angiography protocols
• Image-quality assessment, image Xact post processing, artefact recognition and troubleshooting
• Radiation-dose optimisation
• Emergency response and management of deteriorating patients
• Radiographer-led decision-making, documentation and professional accountability

Once you have completed the training and demonstrated the required level of clinical proficiency, you will be formally signed off to deliver the radiographer-led cardiac CT pathway and receive the associated salary uplift.
