Job summary

University Hospitals Birmingham is seeking an enthusiastic Consultant Radiologist with a specialist interest in Paediatric Radiology to join our Imaging Department. This is an exciting opportunity to develop paediatric imaging services within one of the UK's largest NHS Trusts whilst contributing significantly to a busy adult general radiology service.

We offer:

* Modern CT, MRI, ultrasound and fluoroscopy facilities

* Opportunities for teaching, research, leadership and service development

* A supportive consultant body and excellent wellbeing initiatives
