Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Locum MSK radiology consultant

The closing date is 07 September 2026

Apply for this job

Job summary

Applications are invited for a 12 month fixed term Locum Consultant in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Radiology in the Radiology Department at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) NHS Foundation Trust to cover a period of maternity leave.

This post has a start date of October 2026 for the successful candidate.

The post is suitable for post-CCT radiologists with subspecialist training in MSK radiology, with evidence of MSK fellowship training an advantage. During the post, the consultant will integrate with the MSK Radiology team across all aspects of imaging and intervention of the locomotor system to support our busy service. This will include preparing and taking part in MSK radiology meetings, delivering one session of general service commitment per week for inpatient/emergency cross-sectional hot reporting, and covering the deficit in the on-call consultant rota from the maternity leave.

Main duties of the job

The NNUH Radiology Department performs approximately 500,000 studies per year and is considered one of the foremost MSK imaging and intervention centres in the UK. The post holder will be expected to participate independently in all aspects of our comprehensive MSK service: this includes plain film reporting, MRI, CT, Ultrasound, MR arthrography, image-guided injections (fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and CT), bone and soft tissue biopsies, and spinal intervention. More specialist intervention according to an individual's established expertise would be welcomed and supported, but independent practice would be expected.

The Department is actively engaged in a wide range of research, quality improvement and educational activities in which the post holder would be expected to participate, including training of radiology residents through the East of England Imaging Academy, training/supervisions of our post-CCT MSK Radiology fellow(s), and active involvement in our fortnightly MSK Journal Club.
