Job overview

We have an exciting Senior Clinical Fellow level opportunity for candidates who wish to obtain training and broaden their experience in Neurology and Stroke Medicine in a central London teaching hospital.

You will work as part of a Consultant led team to manage Stroke and Neurology inpatients, ward referrals and outpatient clinics and will gain an excellent grounding in Neurology and Stroke medicine. All of our trainees are encouraged to participate in departmental and Trust initiatives as well as Quality Improvement projects.  Additionally there will be opportunity to attend the Regional Neurosciences meetings at Charing Cross Hospital.

Working in Neurology and Stroke Medicine at Chelsea offers a high performing, vibrant and thriving training environment, with excellent levels of senior presence and support and a large and dedicated multi-professional team.

This post would be ideally suited to candidates wishing to apply for a National training number in Neurology and the successful candidate would receive mentoring from Dr Redwood, Training Programme Director for Neurology in North West London.

Main duties of the job

The main parts of the post involve the care of Stroke and Neurology inpatients, attending outpatient TIA, Stroke and Neurology clinics, reviewing Stroke and Neurology inpatient consults and performing the regular functions of a Neurology/Stroke Registrar.

 

Working for our organisation

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East.  

Our Priorities

Deliver high-quality patient-centred care

Patients, their friends, family and carers will be treated with unfailing kindness and respect by every member of staff in every department and their experience and quality of care will be second to none.

Be the employer of choice

We will provide every member of staff with the support, information, facilities and environment they need to develop in their roles and careers.  We will recruit and retain people we need to deliver high-quality services to our patients and other service users.

Deliver better care at lower cost

We will look to continuously improve the quality of care and patient experience through the most efficient use of available resources.

 

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

You will be part of a Consultant led team which (in addition to these posts) includes two Neurology SpRs, two FY2s, two FY1s, a Neurology Specialist Nurse and a Neurology Pharmacist.

There will be opportunity for interested individuals to carry out supervised outpatient clinics, MDTs and attend a number of sub-specialty Neurology clinics including Neuro-inflammation, Cognitive clinics and Neuro-ID clinics. There may also be opportunity to attend further sub-specialty clinics at the regional Neurosciences Centre at Charing Cross Hospital
