The role

This is a fixed-term post working in the Department of Neurology as a Senior Clinical Fellow (ST3/IMT3 equivalent). The postholder will work alongside the neurology trainees and junior doctors, with clinical responsibilities including clerking non-elective patients admitted under neurology, providing clinical support in the day-to-day care and management of neurology inpatients under the supervision of the neurology consultants, and completing discharge summaries. The ability to perform lumbar punctures is highly desirable.

The postholder will be expected to participate in the neurology on-call rota which consists of day shifts on Saturday and Sunday one weekend in 6, under the supervision of the on-call consultant and 1in 12 Twilight shift (17:00 hrs to midnight) covering neurology and stroke on call.

Provisions will be made to allow participation in some outpatient neurology clinics. There is a weekly educational departmental meeting which the postholder is encouraged to attend and an excellent neuroradiology meeting each Thursday morning in which inpatient neuroradiology is discussed.

In addition, some GIM work will be undertaken. Currently, this consists of 2-week blocks in acute medicine. It is expected that the post holder would undertake two such blocks within the 6-month locum period.

What you'll do

All employees, including the appointee, will be expected to be involved in implementing the Trust's Clinical Governance programme. This includes active participation in clinical audit, quality, clinical guidelines/pathways, professional development, appraisal and risk management.

As outlined above, the postholder will work alongside the neurology trainees and junior doctors, and will be expected to provide a range of clinical duties:

1. Clerking non-elective patients admitted under neurology.

2. Providing clinical support in the day-to-day care and management of neurology inpatients under the supervision of the neurology consultants.

3. Completing electronic discharge summaries.

4. Participating in the neurology ST on-call rota, which consists of day shifts on Saturday and Sunday one weekend in 6, under the supervision of the on-call consultant.

5. Clinical procedures - acute lumbar punctures may be required in some clinical scenarios. The ability to perform LPs is therefore highly desirable. There is also an elective LP list which is currently undertaken by one of our clinical fellows. This service needs additional support.

6. Provision will be made to allow participation in some outpatient neurology clinics.

  • Fast Track Staff Physiotherapy Service
  • Multi Faith prayer room at NNUH Colney Lane site
  • Discounted gym memberships
