About us

We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, in addition to our state-of-the-art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England.

We have one of the most extensive patient experience programmes of any trust in England.

A typical week would consist of 10 Programmed Activities (PA's), including a minimum allocation of SPA's for Supporting Professional Activities. Additional SPA's will be available dependent upon service need as required. There are additional PA's available for Education and Clinical supervision with for first trainee and for each subsequent trainee thereafter.

Please review the job description and person specification before submitting your application - informal visits and discussion regarding the post is welcomed and encouraged.

Job description

Job responsibilities

This post is new and will expand the number of consultants in the Trust working in some capacity in Stroke Medicine to nine. Stroke Nurse Practitioners work at NSECH, supporting assessment and treatment ofpatients with proven and suspected stroke throughout the hospital. Some have dedicated stroke research roles. They are the first point of contact for emergency stroke and high-risk TIA referrals. They play a crucial role in identifying stroke patients, arranging appropriate investigations and liaising with the stroke physicians. They also operate a successful telephone triage system for TIA referrals, allowing timely investigation and assessment.

The service enjoys excellent relationships with Radiology in the Trust and Vascular Surgery and Neurosciences provided by the neighbouring Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals Trust.

The Trust has recently invested in the Brainomix neuroimaging software platform, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution to assist in the interpretation of CT brain scans and CT angiograms in patients with suspected stroke. Following its launch in December 2021, this tool has helped to support clinical decision-making in patients who are potential candidates for mechanical thrombectomy, and has reduced timesto treatment and transfer to the regional neuroscience centre in Newcastle.

Stroke Northumbria has a long and successful history of multidisciplinary service development, led by the Stroke Executive Group. The Stroke Northumbria Network is a broader multidisciplinary group which meets to discuss implementation of strategy, setting up Acute or Rehabilitation Stroke Groups depending on the focus of service development at the time.

The service is very active in research with an extensive portfolio of acute,rehabilitation and secondary prevention studies managed by the Clinical Research.
