Consultant Musculoskeletal Radiologist
NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant
St. George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the regional specialist care provider for south west London, Surrey and beyond. The trust provides a high quality, comprehensive range of health services from leading edge tertiary and trauma care to community services.
With national and regional referrals added to our local 3.5m catchment, we serve a population of around 5m.
Co-located with St George’s, University of London and with both organisations now in a formal strategic alliance with King’s Health Partners, the trust delivers with its partners high quality research and education both of which contribute to the healthcare provision of tomorrow.
Acute and tertiary health services are delivered from over 1,000 beds across two sites, by around 8,000 staff.
St. George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a major acute hospital that offers very specialist care for complex injuries and illnesses, including trauma, neurology, cardiac care, renal transplantation, cancer care and stroke. It has a helipad which opened in spring 2014 and the work of its emergency department can currently be seen on Channel 4’s ‘24 Hours in A&E’ programme. The hospital also provides all the usual care you would expect from a local NHS district general hospital.
We also provide services at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Roehampton. These include outpatient rapid diagnostic and treatment facilities, a minor injuries unit, limb fitting services and 70 elderly, intermediate care and rehabilitation beds.
As well as hospital services, we provide a wide variety of specialist, maternity and community services to children, adults, older people and people with learning disabilities. These services are provided from St John’s Therapy Centre, 11 health centres and clinics, schools, nursing homes and people’s own homes. The trust also manages the healthcare service at HMP Wandsworth.
Job overview
Applications are invited for a Consultant Radiologist to join a friendly team of radiologists with diverse expertise in a busy department and a strong record in teaching and training. The applicant would be expected to join the existing radiologists in providing a comprehensive diagnostic radiology service at St George’s Hospital.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will be expected, in collaboration with the other radiologists in the department, to oversee and ensure the provision of high-quality clinical services within the Radiology Department. This would primarily consist of providing a comprehensive diagnostic radiology service which includes general plain radiography, CT, ultrasound, and MRI.
Leading trauma meetings and orthopaedic MDT’s is essential. Experience in rheumatological conditions and trauma is expected as part of the role alongside delivering exceptional care within the wider musculoskeletal tertiary team.
The post-holder will also participate in a full-time diagnostic on-call rota (approximately 1:15), alongside regular weekend working (with time off in-lieu).
It is expected that applicants will have the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists and a CCT in Radiology or equivalent training and experience.
Working for our organisation
St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest healthcare units in the UK accommodating more than 1000 beds and employing 6000 members of staff, and is closely integrated to the St George's Hospital Medical School, part of the University of London. We have an established national and international reputation as a leading hospital for specialist care including neurosciences, cardiac care, stroke and oncology. We provide an integrated mix of secondary care and specialist services to children of Wandsworth, Merton and South West London, Surrey and further afield. We have a comprehensive range of paediatric medical and surgical specialist services supported by PICU and NICU and are a joint treatment centre for oncology with the Royal Marsden Hospital. The Trust is a designated level 1 Major Trauma Centre and has been granted Foundation Trust status.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
A standard full-time Job Plan will contain 10 Programmed Activities which includes 8 PAs for direct clinical care and 2 supporting PAs. Sessions will be a mix of acute/emergency work and outpatient reporting. On-call commitment is required. This post also includes teaching of undergraduates and radiology registrars in the department.
The diagnostic on-call is overseen by a single consultant with the support of a second consultant radiologist on weekends. Each week on call and weekend working is compensated by time in lieu during the week. The post-holder can expect up to approximately 5 weekends (on-call/second consultant) per year. The department is currently exploring how to address 7 day working. Sessional working in the evenings may also be required.
Each job plan will be reviewed within 3 months of appointment and will be subject to change. Whilst it is likely that most of the sessions will be based at St George’s, some evening working and lists at either the Nelson or Queen Mary’s Roehampton may be needed. An indicative job plan is provided below.
