Senior Clinical Fellow in Parkinson's Disease

at  University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust

The Derby Parkinsons service is recognised by the US Parkinsons Foundation as a Centre of Excellence, one of only two centres in the UK with this accreditation. Our service includes not just neurologists and geriatricians, but specialists in old age psychiatry and palliative medicine, hospital and community-based Parkinsons nurse specialists and nationally recognised therapists. Our Trusts vision is taking pride in caring and our staff certainly do this. We have staff who go beyond the call of duty for our patients theyre our heroes.
This 12-month fixed term training fellowship is designed to provide a senior trainee with the skills and confidence to take on a consultant role with a special interest in Parkinsons. This is the first Parkinsons clinical training fellowship in the UK open to both neurology and geriatric medicine trainees. Weekly MDT meetings provide a fantastic educational opportunity and there is chance for a forward-thinking individual to shape service developments. The Trust is large enough to be nationally renowned but small enough to be friendly and develop great working relationships with colleagues.
We are always looking to improve. Our Trust is growing and with the merger with Burton Hospitals there are exciting opportunities on the horizon which will benefit our Staffordshire patient
