The Neurology Department at University Hospitals Sussex is in a period of exciting development, following the merger of two adjacent hospital Trusts and the relocation of the Neuroscience Department to the new Louise Martindale Building at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.
We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and personable locum neurology consultant to work between the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton and Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath. The postholder will undertake both general neurology and specialist neuroinflammatory/MS clinics and contribute to the development and delivery of an increasingly complex diagnostic and therapeutic neurology service.
The establishment of University Hospitals Sussex as a new Trust provided the opportunity to better co-ordinate the care of neurology patients and ensure greater equity of provision of services. This is a welcome strategic development in Neurology where the consultant workforce across Sussex already work in collaboration to provide inpatient care.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wishes to be a central part in developing a regional service.
