Job overview

The post holder undertakes, exceptionally, to be available for such irregular commitments outside normally rostered duties as are essential for continuity of patient care and, therefore, may be required, in exceptional circumstances, to perform additional duties. 

The post holder will be subject to review to assess progress (including the relevant professional development activities undertaken). A Consultant Neurologist has been allocated to supervise the post holder and also have responsibility for education and career developments. Study leave will be in accordance with the terms and conditions for medical staff. 

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will join the medical and nursing team in supporting neurology clinics and ward rounds. S/he will work with Consultant Neurologists to see patients in an outpatient setting as well as ensuring consistency of care to inpatients on the ward.

The successful candidate will follow a timetable of sessions with supporting Consultants to include general outpatient consultations. The post holder will also take part in formal ward rounds with and without the supervising consultants.

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.

Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital, for NLAG and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.

As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.

We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
