About the employer
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital was founded in 1907 with the amalgamation of London's three specialist orthopaedic hospitals into one single centre of excellence. We can therefore trace our history back to 1838 when the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital was founded. The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust was formed in 1991 as part of the first wave of NHS Trusts.
We provide a comprehensive range of neuro-musculoskeletal health care, ranging from the most acute spinal injury or complex bone tumour to orthopaedic medicine and specialist rehabilitation for chronic back pain sufferers. This broad range of neuro-musculoskeletal services is unique within the NHS.
Teaching is inherent to the Trust's work and the specialist training provided across a range of disciplines is in great demand both in this country and abroad. We work closely with the on-site Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculo-Skeletal Science, which forms the hub of the country's most comprehensive training programme for orthopaedic surgeons (20% of all UK orthopaedic surgeons receive training here).
A wide range of postgraduate training courses is also provided ranging from Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) to specialist courses such as Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty. The Postgraduate Medical Education Centre also houses the Trust's Medical Library.
