Consultant Diagnostic Neuroradiologist

Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) is the biggest employer in Nottingham with over 19,000 staff.

We are seeking to appoint one permanent Consultant Neuroradiologist with interest in Paediatric Neuroradiology at Nottingham University Hospitals. This post is to support the increasing local and regional demand for Neuroimaging during this time.

The successful applicants will share responsibility with 14 other colleagues for the provision of all aspects of Neuro imaging in our Trust with possible future expansion to the Trusts within the regional network.

Main duties of the job

This is a substantive Full-time Consultant Neuroradiologist post for Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust with regional Paediatric Neuroradiology reporting for few local hospitals.

This post will meet the needs of the expanding service within NUH Neuroradiology and the surrounding trusts and help provide a specialist neuroradiology on call service at NUH and with weekend working.

The post holder may be required to contribute to some activity for the surrounding district general hospitals. NUH Paediatric Neuroradiologists currently report children's neuroimaging from three surrounding trusts. This cross cover of activity for the region will be in conjunction with other colleagues and there is scope for change of the exact proportion of time allocated to NUH: DGH cover neuroimaging activities in the future.

The post will be primarily located at the Queen's Medical Centre campus although the successful applicant will be required to provide sessions at the sites where we provide a Neuro Radiology service.
