You will enjoy a wide variety of diagnostic imaging work within the hospital aiding our medicine, soft tissue surgery, neurology, orthopaedic, dentistry, cardiology and ophthalmology teams. Our philosophy is very much one of friendly co-operation between all members of the team with a collaborative culture between clinicians working across every specialism, creating a supportive and good-humoured atmosphere.
Eastcott Referrals is a multi-disciplinary specialist referral hospital situated in Swindon, between Bristol and London and close to the Cotswolds and the North Wessex Downs Area of Natural Beauty.
