Main duties of the job
The Musculoskeletal Radiology Fellowship is a clinical and research program based at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and the National Spinal Injuries Centre (NSIC), the oldest, and one of the largest spinal injury centres in the world.
The fellow will participate in an intensive training program in musculoskeletal imaging, which includes plain film radiographs, ultrasound, CT and MRI of the musculoskeletal system, image-guided interventions, arthrography, percutaneous bone biopsy and complex spinal intervention including vertebroplasty and spinal ablation.
The fellow will be involved in a variety of novel techniques (for example dynamic MDCT for spinal stability) and be exposed to wide-ranging pathologies.
There will be opportunities to attend weekly Musculoskeletal MDT meetings, Spinal Orthopaedic MDT, Spinal Injury MDT at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and attend the regional Sarcoma MDT at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre (NOC) in Oxford.
Fellowship training is enhanced by close collaboration interaction with the orthopaedic surgical staff and members of the rheumatology department. This will include opportunities to attend theatre for teaching from Mr Stuart Blagg, former President of the British Association of Spinal Surgeons (BASS) and to collaborate on research projects with the spinal orthopaedic fellows.
