Applications are invited for the post of Consultant Neuro-Ophthalmologist at the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB). The post will be based on a full time 10 PA permanent contract. This is a replacement post to manage a tertiary specialist neuro-ophthalmology service receiving referrals for afferent and efferent disease from across the region and more widely.

Ophthalmology is located at four hospital sites as part of UHB which are: Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB), Heartlands Hospital Birmingham (HHB), Solihull Hospital (SH) and Good Hope Hospital (GHH). Neuro-ophthalmology is based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

As well as consultant ophthalmologists, the eye service is supported by ophthalmic specialist trainees, staff-grades, fellows, orthoptists, optometrists, ophthalmic nurses and ophthalmic technicians. There is a programme of training for extended roles, with Clinical Nurse Specialists in a number of specialities.

Main duties of the job

This post will support UHB Ophthalmology services in Neuro-ophthalmology. The successful applicant will be expected to establish a service to help meet the clinical requirements of the emergency workload from across the region. It is anticipated that the post holder will have post-CCT subspecialty training in Neuro-ophthalmology and contribute to the research portfolio of the department. While the majority of sessions are likely to take place at QEHB, there may be a clinical need for sessions at other hospital sites.

Flexibility with regard to the timetabling of fixed sessions will be expected. We are working towards a three session day, so some fixed sessions may be evening and/or weekend sessions.

Job responsibilities

We are also increasing our provision of community ophthalmology, thus clinics may include review of remotely acquired investigations. Flexible/annualised sessions may be included for some theatre sessions to support maximising theatre capacity for our patients.

On-Call Duties

At present, there are no regular on-call or out of hours duties. The trust is a Stage one Trauma Centre, and out of hours provision at UHB may be necessary in the future. It is expected that the clinical team participate in supporting the review of ward referrals in clinic.

Clinical Governance

The appointee will be expected to participate in all aspects of clinical governance as developed by the Trust to monitor, maintain, and develop the quality and effectiveness of care. This will include audit of personal and clinical practice, involvement in departmental and specialty reviews, and attention to continuing professional development as expected by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.

Funding is available for approved study leave as defined in the Trust study leave policy.

Person Specification Qualifications
  • Full GMC Registration. On the Specialist Register or within 6 months of completion of training.
  • CCST or CCT.
  • FRCOphth or equivalent.
Disclosure and Barring Service Check

This post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions Order) 1975, and as such it will be necessary for a submission for Disclosure to be made to the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly known as CRB) to check for any previous criminal convictions.
