   2) specifically skilled and competent Interventional Neuroradiology Radiographers and Interventional Neuroradiology Nurses to support and train the Trust's substantive Interventional Radiology Radiographers and Interventional Radiology Nurses during the initial establishment of the Mechanical Thrombectomy service (maximum period of eight weeks); and

   3) provide independently competent Interventional Radiologists with the specific clinical skillset required to operate and support the existing Interventional Radiology service (caseload) for the Proposed Contract term.
