The Department of Radiology at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital consists of:

The Department is staffed by eight Consultant Radiologists, all of whose specialist interest is musculoskeletal radiology.
Radiology practice covers elective orthopaedic and rheumatological imaging arising from within the Trust and musculoskeletal referrals from local and regional hospitals. Other subspecialties include:

* Arthroplasty
* Specialist Upper Limb Unit

Regular clinical and pathological conferences are held with specialist teams within the orthopaedic and spinal specialties. This includes the multidisciplinary tumour meeting attended by radiologists, pathologists and clinicians; active participation of the Fellows is encouraged.
The successful candidates will be actively encouraged to participate in audit/research projects. Full support facilities including computer and some secretarial support will be provided. It is anticipated that the incumbents in the posts will produce publications during their post and contribute to radiological scientific meetings.
The hospital has just over 200 inpatient beds. The Francis Costello Library provides a high quality multidisciplinary service to improve patient care and support clinical effectiveness research, education and lifelong learning for all, encouraging use of the evidence base in all aspects of RJAH activity to support the Trust to be the leading orthopaedic centre in the UK.
The library offers over 4000 books and journals covering all health related disciplines but with a specialist emphasis on orthopaedic and musculoskeletal medicine. Specialist journals are also available, many electronically via ATHENS password, and the library also provides an article request service for papers which are not available within our own stock.
Mediated literature searches, help and advice and a comprehensive information skills training programme are also available. The library works in close alliance with other health libraries within the area.
