Dr Fairhurst has worked for Southampton University Hospitals Trust since 1990.

Trained as general radiologist in UK then undertook a Fellowship in Paediatric Radiology in USA. Started as single-handed paediatric radiologist in Southampton in 1990: the department has grown and now has 4 paediatric radiologists. We undertake all aspects of imaging in children. I sub-specialise in paediatric musculoskeletal radiology, particularly in the areas of skeletal dysplasia and non-accidental injury.
