Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
An opportunity has arisen for a new Consultant Radiologist post with a special interest in Musculoskeletal Radiology at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The post has arisen as a result of increasing demand for musculoskeletal imaging across all modalities together with increasing waits for image guided therapeutic injections and intervention.
The post holder will join the team of eight full time Consultant Radiologists all of whose special interest is Musculoskeletal Radiology. There is an expectation that the new appointee will contribute to the reporting of the relatively small amount of non-orthopaedic work in the Department, principally cross sectional body CT.
Applicants will be able to demonstrate through their application that they are sufficiently trained in musculoskeletal radiology as well as having a broad background of radiological experience.
Interested candidates will be listed on the GMC's Specialist Register for Radiology (or be within 6 months of being at the time of interview) and will have completed an appropriate post-specialist registration Fellowship (minimum 12 months duration).
Main duties of the job
This is a full time post encompassing all areas of imaging allied to the musculoskeletal system including specialist musculoskeletal ultrasound, image guided intervention utilising the modalities of ultrasound, fluoroscopy and computed tomography with especial reference to fluoroscopic or CT guided spinal nerve root injections; the reporting of musculoskeletal MRI, CT and plain radiography and contribution to the various multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings. In keeping with the ethos of the department, an interest in teaching, education and research will be expected from any potential applicants.
Job responsibilities
This is a full time (10 PA) post consisting of 8.5 PAs direct clinical care (DCC) and 1.5 PAs for supporting professional activity (SPA); however 1 Additional Programmed Activity is offered which is to provide prospective cover for colleagues annual leave. A further programmed activity to support professional activity (SPA) may be available following a job plan review in due course.
The post holder will be required to participate in on-call duties with the other consultant radiologists (1 in 6 currently). This is paid as an additional on call supplement.
The post holder will have an involvement in both the specialised musculoskeletal service and the non-orthopaedic work required by the Trust and provide specialised musculo-skeletal and non-musculo-skeletal elements of the Imaging workload.
