Together with clinical advisor, Dr Suzanne Wakely, a consultant radiologist at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Ginder will take forward actions informed by GIRFT's recent review of Imaging Networks.

Dr Ginder said: ‘GIRFT provides a powerful framework that brings together data, clinical insight and collaboration to drive meaningful and sustainable improvement. 

‘I'm really looking forward to working with colleagues across the country to build on the excellent work of the GIRFT radiology team, reducing unwarranted variation in radiology services, sharing best practice, and supporting teams to deliver safe, high quality diagnostics for patients.'

Dr Ginder and Dr Wakely will help to clinically interpret and diagnose data to understand the challenges faced in the system and, using an MDT approach, identify solutions and best practice to help optimise resources.  

They will also be working collaboratively with stakeholders such as the NHSE Diagnostic Transformation Programme and the Royal College of Radiologists to ensure ongoing implementation of the national recommendations set out in the GIRFT national specialty report for radiology (2020).
