Please use this guide for the duration of your employment with UHDB.

Once cleared to work by UHDB, your host trust will provide you with your work schedule, any local procedures you are to adhere to, who you are to report to when you arrive, and your induction schedule. If you need any assistance with contacts, please email  uhdb.radiologyleademployer@nhs.net.
