Summary
A Vacancy at Croydon Health Services NHS Trust.
Applications are invited for a locum Consultant Radiologist post, with an interest in MSK.
This post results from a combination of expansion of service and evolving developments in the related clinical disciplines including orthopaedics, rheumatology and physiotherapy. The post will be fixed term 12-month contract, with the potential for a substantive post in the future.

Purley War Memorial Hospital (PWMH) in the south of the borough offers outpatient care, including diagnostic services, physiotherapy and ophthalmology services run by Moorfields Eye Hospital, alongside an onsite GP surgery.
Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon and our Children’s Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital.
We are a very close-knit and friendly organization where every one of our 3600 members of staff is valued. We strongly believe that our employees are our greatest asset.
