Job overview
Job Summary
Are you looking for a job in a friendly department in a high performing Trust? Come and work with us! The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital Foundation Trust wishes to appoint a Locum Consultant Neurologist for General Neurology.
Applicants are invited to join a dynamic and forward-looking Neurology department. The successful candidate will join a close West Middlesex team of four neurology consultants and be part of the larger cross site department.
The appointee will provide inpatient and outpatient services in busy, but well supported hospital.
Main duties of the job
The neurology clinics at both sites are run on the ABN template with 30mins for a new patient and 15mins for a follow up. At West Middlesex University Hospital there is daily (Monday - Friday) consultant delivered referral service with variable referrals ranging from 1-5/day. The indicative job plan contains time for cross cover with ward referrals relating to consultant leave and will require flexibility from the appointee to help deliver this.
Working for our organisation
We 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. We have over 6,000 members of staff that are PROUD to Care for nearly one million people. Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children’s, in addition to a range of community-based services across London, such as award-winning sexual health and HIV clinics.
We’re one of the best preforming Trusts in the country. We’re also one of the top trusts to work for – our staff say they’re engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.
Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as ‘Good’ in all five of the main domains of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, giving an us overall rating of ‘Good’. We’ve also been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating for ‘use of resources’ by an NHS Improvement inspection.
Our facilities are some of the best in the country. We have been investing around £10 million a year in our estate. We are currently spending £25 million on expanding our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and redevelopment of our children’s unit at West Middlesex – in partnership with our charity, CW+ and generous donors
