Job overview
This is a full-time replacement substantive consultant neurology post based at Wexham Park Hospital (part of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust) and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (part of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust).
A clinical interest in multiple sclerosis, movement disorders or headache but not essential as other interests can also be discussed to complement the current team across the two Frimley Health main hospitals.
Main duties of the job
The postholder will have continuing responsibility for the care of patients in his/her charge and for the proper functioning of the department with inpatient and outpatient commitments. They will undertake a share of the administrative duties associated with the care patients, the running of the neurology department and the directorate.
Applicants are invited to make contact at both sites for further information or to arrange a visit to WPH, in particular so that discussion can be facilitated with the clinical lead of their preferred sub-speciality at NHNN- this could have practical implications for details of the indicative timetable.
