About Disability Confident
A Disability Confident employer will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria for the job as defined by the employer. It is important to note that in certain recruitment situations such as high-volume, seasonal and high-peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people. For more details please go to Disability Confident.

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn and develop ultrasound skills alongside experienced trainers in FUSIC Heart, Lung, Abdomen, Vascular, DVT and Haemodynamic modules. Ultrasound training will be tailored to the needs of the successful applicant. There are also opportunities to gain experience in delivering education and training.

The BNHH critical care department has 3 cart-based ultrasound machines, and soon 2 state of the art handhelds (one dedicated to this post-holder), all with network/ archiving/storage capability. The successful applicant will have 1 day per week of protected 'ultrasound training/practice' as part of their job contract, and this Fellowship has excellent support from our imaging cardiology team.
