University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW), Bristol, Virginia, United States, 24202
Consultant Radiologist (interest in MSK)
The closing date is 07 January 2026
We are looking for a Consultant Radiologist to replace a recently retired colleague, with sub‑specialist interest in MSK imaging and intervention. There is an increasing demand for MSK imaging and intervention from primary care services as well as general in‑patient and out‑patient referrals and we recently merged with Weston Area Health NHS Trust, located 18 miles south of the BRI. The job is designed to be shared with Weston and although reporting can be done remotely at the BRI, there will be an expected attendance of one day a week to support Weston MSK ultrasound provision and on‑site reporting. Two MSK Consultants are already established in this split‑time commitment. We cover a full range of MSK imaging and intervention, with the scope to develop the service even further, in response to modern changes in patient management. In addition to specialised musculoskeletal imaging, the successful candidate will support general imaging in UHBW as well as acute imaging/on‑call.
Main duties of the job The successful candidate will be expected to comply with all relevant Trust policies relating to administration of patient care. This includes working to set timescales for the triage of requests, the completion of discharge summaries prior to patients being discharged, following the specified process for the management of patients that do not attend (DNA) their appointment or admission, and the completion of all paperwork deemed necessary to support the management of their patients within agreed timescales. Consultants are also expected to work with service managers and clinical colleagues to manage their caseload in a flexible way, to ensure both clinical, national and local priorities, such as maximum waiting times for referral to treatment, are achieved.
About us University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 different sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England. UHBW has been rated by the CQC as “Good” overall and our staff are proud to deliver excellent care to the people of Bristol, Weston and beyond. As a forward‑thinking multi‑award winning Trust and a digital exemplar committed to improving patient care, our world‑leading research and innovations are having a positive local and global impact. Our hospitals are spread across Bristol and Weston, join us and you can enjoy the very best of both worlds; city living within a stone's throw of the countryside or beside the seaside, both with easy access to all that the South West has to offer. UHBW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. As an equal opportunities employer actively working towards a diverse workforce we aim to recruit and retain a workforce which represents the rich diversity of the local population at all levels and are committed to designing our services around the needs of individual patients and those around them. Anonymous information will be used from your application in order to ensure we’re meeting our pledge.
