Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity for a local GP with a Special Interest (GPwER) in Parkinson’s disease to join our integrated and dynamic neurological long-term conditions team.
The successful candidate will work as an integrated member of the team to deliver 1-2 specialist clinics a week and to support the Parkinson’s CNSs. Administrative time will be allocated to cover each clinic worked as part of the job plan. Specialist training will be offered in-house under the supervision of the consultant neurologists and participation in external training will be encouraged.

The post holder will share clinical responsibilities for the care of Parkinson’s patients under the RBH with the present consultants and Parkinson’s CNSs. Full training will be offered in post and prior specialist experience is not required. Secretarial and administrative support will be provided.
Working for our organisation
We are recognised as an innovative department with 5 neurology consultants, 2 consultants in neurological rehabilitation and a nurse consultant specializing in Parkinson’s disease who leads a large team of clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) for neurological long-term conditions. We have close links (through shared consultant appointments) with the neuroscience centre at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford where advanced therapies such as deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s are available.
We run a number of relevant specialist clinics at the Royal Berkshire hospital and the local community hospitals (for example, the multi-disciplinary elderly care Parkinson’s clinic, and Parkinson’s Plus clinics). There will be opportunities to attend these other clinics as part of initial training and continuing professional development (CPD).
