We are looking for an ambitious Healthcare Science Assistant / Senior Healthcare Science Assistant to join the Cardiology team at the Newmarket Community Diagnostic Centre.
Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) are being established across the country under a government programme to improve local access to diagnostic testing.
Newmarket’s’ CDC will open November 2024 and, once open, will deliver approximately 100,000 outpatient tests a year, which alongside Cardiology, will include CT, MRI, X-ray, Ultrasound, blood tests and Respiratory.
