Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds Teaching Hospitals Full time

The current WYATT neurology reorganisation programme is designed to improve access to services across the entire region. Many patients in the Calderdale and Huddersfield region have limited or no access to specialist MS and neuro-inflammatory services are by default dealt with in the central hub in Leeds. At present approximately 200 (CALDERDALE 76 (8%), HUDDERSFIELD 89 (9%) N KIRKLEES 18 (2%)) patients on disease modifying treatment are accepted by Leeds. Additionally, a significant number are not able to access treatment resulting in health inequality in the West Yorkshire region that the WYATT neurology reorganisation group is seeking to remove.

At present no patients with secondary progressive MS outside Leeds and Bradford have access to Siponimod NICE TA 656 18 November 2020 due to the lack of capacity in the Leeds MS team to accept these referal. The post holder will be instrumental in permitting the organisation to develop support for this service which cannot be delivered at present. This post will join the 3 other neurologists with an interest in MS and neuro inflammation to ensure Leeds can continue to deliver the acute treatments to the local population and future WYATT delivery plans for MS. The post is for 10 programmed activities.

Neurology services in Leeds and across the WYATT region are increasingly involved in the delivery of acute care at the front door and with in-reach services and ambulatory pathways to prevent admission. The post holder will be expected to be involved in the continuing development of those pathways with an in-reach session at St James (1PA) to patients requiring neurology input and an acute admission avoidance clinic (1PA) per week. This is in line with LTHTs goals of delivering the right care with the right time in the right place first time
