This is an exciting opportunity for a Paediatric Radiology Fellowship at Guy's & St Thomas', based at the Evelina London Children's Hospital (ELCH), aimed at post-CCT trainees who wish to develop their paediatric subspecialty interests further. GMC registration and FRCR are essential.
Following in the footsteps of previous successful applicants, the post-holder will acquire the necessary experience and skills to fulfil a consultant role in paediatric radiology, as their sole or joint subspecialty.

Participation in the on-call rota for paediatric radiology is expected, with support provided by a named paediatric radiology consultant.
There will also be support from within the department to undertake a research project over the course of the year, with a view to present at an international/ national meeting aiming for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Attendance and presentation at national and international Paediatric Radiology conferences is supported by a generous study leave allowance and budget. At least one session per week will be allocated to supporting professional activities e.g. research, quality improvement including audit, administrative duties, CPD and teaching.There will be a formal appraisal process supported by named Educational and Clinical Supervisors. Support will also be available from the Training Programme Administrator.
The post will be primarily based at ELCH on the St Thomas' Hospital site. However, it is a requirement of your employment that you be prepared to work at any additional or different location owned or served by the Trust, either on an on-going or temporary basis according to the demands of the service and ongoing expansion of the paediatric services.

Evelina London cares for local children in Lambeth and Southwark and provides specialist services across south east England including cardiac, renal and critical care services. We lead a number of specialist service networks aiming to ensure children are treated locally where possible, but have access to specialist expertise when they need it.
