Overview

The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest providers of specialist orthopaedic surgery in Europe with an income base of circa £80m. We offer planned orthopaedic surgery in our 14 dedicated theatres to people locally, nationally and internationally and are one of the few specialised centres in the UK for sarcoma diagnosis and treatment.

We are looking for a MSK Radiology Consultant to join our dedicated team, to ensure effective delivery of imaging services and utilization of resource whilst maintaining high levels of patient care whilst working in close collaboration with various MDT meetings.
