About the Role
As a Band 5 Medical Photographer, you will undertake and develop clinical photography using 2D and 3D imaging systems and videography to accurately capture clinical conditions. You will translate clinician requests into final imagery by applying anatomical and physiological knowledge alongside the correct use and setup of studio lighting and camera equipment, both in the studio and on location using portable equipment. You will be responsible for selecting the most appropriate photographic techniques to best demonstrate patients' conditions, which may include cross-lighting, ultraviolet, and infrared photography. Ethical practices, patient management skills, tact, and diplomacy are essential throughout photographic sessions, ensuring sensitivity to cultural and religious views and meeting all patients’ specific photographic needs while prioritizing clinical requirements. The role involves working in various settings including studios, wards, clinics, operating theatres, and occasionally at heights or in confined spaces as required by circumstances.

Requirements

Experience
Experience in clinical photography or medical imaging is desirable but not mandatory. A willingness to develop skills in 2D and 3D imaging and videography is essential.

About you
You should demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills, tact, and diplomacy when working with patients from diverse backgrounds. You must be able to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary clinical team, showing sensitivity to cultural and religious beliefs. Flexibility to work in different clinical environments and adapt to varying conditions is required.

Qualifications
Relevant qualifications or training in photography, medical imaging, or a related field are preferred. Candidates should have a strong understanding of anatomy and physiology or be willing to acquire this knowledge to support clinical imaging requirements.
