The Breast Imaging Radiology team in East Kent has a longstanding reputation for excellence in breast screening and symptomatic breast services. The Breast Screening service started in Canterbury in 1989 a year after the introduction of the National NHS Breast Screening programme in the UK. We celebrated 30 years of outstanding service in 2019.


The unit is based at Kent and Canterbury Hospital and also administers screening services for Kent and Medway. The management team includes the Breast Screening Programme manager, Deputy Programme Manager, Principal Mammographer and Office manager, and are supported by an administrative team of staff.

The Director of Breast Screening is responsible for leadership, management, performance, quality, governance and overall accountability for the safe and effective provision of the local breast screening service.


The Director of Breast Screening needs to provide a compassionate behavioural role model with integrity and honesty to lead the breast screening service. It is vital that the post holder be able to communicate highly effectively and apply professional expertise and sensitivity in relationship building, to promote teamwork in an emotionally intelligent, compassionate and mature way. They should be able to analyse issues and take the initiative to innovate and make changes positively while inspiring and developing others in the team.


The leadership role is about establishing a culture where people and teams are motivated to be constructively self-critical in the pursuit of improved standards of service and outcomes for patients. Effective communication is crucial to ensure the service reaches its goals and to foster good working relationships between the director, the senior leadership team and across the service. The director retains accountability for the leadership of the service.

We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with three acute hospitals and community sites serving a local population of around 700,000. We also provide specialist services for Kent and Medway.

Bexleyheath Academy is proud to be a non-selective school in the grammar heartland of Kent. Bexleyheath Academy is quickly approaching capacity with students; in order to accommodate the demands of the local community and grow our skilled staff, we must expand.

With immediate train access to Central London and easy access to the Kent countryside, Bexleyheath has the best of both worlds. Despite having a Kent postcode, Bexleyheath is classified as Greater London due to its strategic location between Welling, Sidcup, and Bexley village. You can reach Dartford for the river crossing with a short drive along the A2.

Its thriving hub is The Broadway - a shopping district with added appeal in the shape of a bowling alley, cinema and a growing number of restaurants. A little beyond Bexleyheath and you're at Bluewater, Ashford for the designer outlet and international rail travel to Europe.

When inspectors visited Bexleyheath Academy in July 2021, they said that the way in which pupils work in school has been "transformed", and that "there is a positive atmosphere in classes and around the school". Inspectors also said that the school "has completely changed" and have confirmed in their report that Bexleyheath Academy is officially a good school.
