Locum Consultant Neurology

4 weeks ago

Orpington, United Kingdom King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are seeking full time (10PA) locum consultant to join the Neurology team at the PRUH site to contribute to developing the general neurology service to help reduce waiting times for general neurology out-patients, support the in-patient services and support the clinical governance. There is also an opportunity to develop specialist services at the PRUH.

The PRUH opened in March 2003 and has 525 beds and. Services provided include maternity and special care baby unit, paediatrics, surgery, medicine, coronary care, cancer medicine, ICU and HDU, Accident & Emergency, a HASU and outpatient services. Additional secondary care services (clinics, operative procedures, rehabilitation) are provided at Orpington Hospital and the Beckenham Beacon, close by.

Neurology is part of the Department of Specialist Medicine within the recently revised Care Group Structure. It supports the inpatient services and provides general neurology and specialist outpatient services to the local community in Bromley, Kent - a residential and partially rural area in the south east part of outer London.

There are no in-patient neurology beds at the PRUH and patients requiring in-patient neurology care are transferred to Denmark Hill. There is a PIU at the PRUH where neurological treatments can be given but patients' requiring day case admission for investigations are admitted to the PIU at Denmark Hill.

Main duties of the job

The Trust is recognised internationally for its work in liver disease and transplantation, neurosciences, cardiac, haemato-oncology, fetal medicine, stroke, major trauma, and Emergency Department.

It brings together a world-leading research-led university - King's College London - and three successful NHS Foundation Trusts: King's College Hospital, Guy's and St Thomas', and South London and Maudsley.

This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of our dedicated workforce and join one of the largest and most successful Foundation Trusts in the UK with an international reputation for innovation and the desire to make a difference.

You must be fully registered with the GMC and hold a Licence to Practice and be on the Specialist Register, or within six months of attaining your CCT or equivalent to be eligible for interview.
