Description:

Full-time Consultant Neurologist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The post will be based mainly at Queens Medical Centre and will have a focus on acute and inpatient Neurology. The post would be particularly suitable for a newly qualified consultant looking to get more experience of inpatient Neurology, or a consultant with a particular interest in acute Neurology.
The post will entail the delivery of neurology services in the region. The successful applicant will work within a team of Consultant Neurologists. As well as provision of General Neurology services in both inpatient and outpatient settings, the candidate will be expected to provide sub-specialty expertise to complement the delivery of a high quality, comprehensive Neurology service by the department. Sub-specialty expertise in Dementia and cognitive disorders would be a major advantage, in this regard.
The successful candidate will be expected to do a mix of general neurology clinic and subspecialty clinics. Booking criteria for general neurology clinics are per the ABN guidance with 30 minutes allocated for a new patient and 15 minutes for each follow up patient. It is expected 5 patients are booked into each general neurology clinic and the rest of the clinic can be follow up slots. Each Clinic session is usually 4 hours. The number of clinics expected to be performed by the successful candidate is included in the job plan attached.
The post-holder will be responsible for the care of patients in his or her charge. The successful applicant will also be expected to contribute to the delivery of teaching and training to students at Nottingham University Medical School, as well as to contribute to teaching, training and supervision of Specialist Trainees in Neurology, who are in the East Midlands Deanery training programme.
Clinical Neurology forms part of the Nottingham Regional Neuroscience Unit and serves the population of Nottingham. It also provides an outreach neurological service to Kings Mill Hospital in Mansfield. We continue to engage with other peripheral hospitals and support their neurology services as needed
The delivery of Inpatient Care is on a “Consultant of the Week” (COTW) system, and the post-holder will contribute to what is currently a 1 in 15 rota. The neurology ward is shared area with neurosurgery, on average we expect around 15 neurology inpatients we look after on neurology beds or outliers during an oncall week. This will be in addition to patients referred for a neurology advice under other specialities.
Every Thursday morning, a Multi-disciplinary handover meeting is held, and it is expected that all Consultants will attend this meeting.
The Neurology department runs a Hyper-Acute Neurology Unit (HANU). The creation of the HANU is part of a wider programme within the Trust to enhance the provision of same day Emergency Care (SDEC). Referrals to the HANU come from acute, unselected medical areas as well as from Primary Care. The HANU has proven enormously successful, and as SDEC services are expanded and re-organised we expect the opportunities for working more closely with medical and surgical specialisms in the near future so as further to enhance the service. The post-holder will be expected to contribute to the provision of HANU services, according to a rota.
