Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is seeking a Consultant Radiologist to help lead the integration of artificial intelligence into radiology services, supporting clinical innovation, research and specialist education in South Wales.
The Clinical AI Lead position, based in Bridgend, will focus on exploring how emerging AI technologies can be introduced into medical imaging services to support healthcare professionals, improve clinical processes and contribute to the development of digital healthcare.
The appointment reflects the growing importance of artificial intelligence within healthcare, particularly in radiology, where advanced technology is creating opportunities to assist clinicians with image analysis, identify abnormalities and manage increasing demands on diagnostic services.
The successful candidate will combine clinical expertise with strategic leadership, helping to evaluate and develop AI applications that could support radiologists and wider healthcare teams.
A central responsibility will be supporting the integration of artificial intelligence into existing radiology services, ensuring that technological developments are considered alongside clinical requirements, patient safety and the practical needs of healthcare professionals.
The position will also involve research leadership, service evaluation and collaboration with clinical and technical colleagues to explore innovative digital health solutions.
Education will form another important part of the role, with the successful applicant contributing to AI training and professional development through the National Imaging Academy Wales.
This work will help strengthen understanding of artificial intelligence among radiology professionals and support the development of the specialist skills required as digital technologies become more widely used in healthcare.
The role offers an opportunity to connect clinical practice, technological innovation and medical education, bringing together expertise from different disciplines to examine how AI can be applied effectively within NHS services.
For the Welsh healthcare sector, the appointment highlights the potential for specialist clinical leadership to support the responsible adoption of emerging technologies.
AI applications in medical imaging can include tools designed to assist with image interpretation, workflow prioritisation and the analysis of complex diagnostic information. However, their successful introduction requires clinical evaluation, appropriate governance and a clear understanding of how technology supports professional decision-making.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to this process through research, training and the assessment of AI-enabled services.
Applicants should have relevant consultant radiology qualifications meeting NHS Wales requirements, together with experience or expertise in AI development, clinical innovation and education.
The position will require the ability to work collaboratively across clinical, research and educational environments, translating developments in artificial intelligence into practical opportunities for healthcare improvement.
The role also provides an opportunity to contribute to the wider development of digital healthcare expertise in Wales, particularly through the relationship between frontline clinical services and specialist training at the National Imaging Academy Wales.
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board provides healthcare services across Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil, making the development of innovative clinical approaches relevant to a substantial population across South Wales.
The position is advertised as a full-time, on-site opportunity based in Bridgend.
