Job description
Job responsibilities
The post holder will share clinical and managerial leadership within the Neurology and Neurorehabilitation service with the present consultants. An office base with secretarial and administrative support will be provided.
The role involves providing consultant cover to 10 complex Neurorehabilitation patients admitted to the Neuro-rehabilitation Unit (NRU). Patients are admitted with various brain injuries including strokes and traumatic brain injuries. Consultant cover for the current community NRU is also provided from the RBFT- through a community ward round and an MDT to support the 8 neurorehabilitation patients that are located at West Berkshire Community Hospital.
The role also includes an outpatient clinic commitment in several locations namely at the Royal Berkshire Hospital (Reading), Bracknell (The Royal Berkshire Bracknell Healthspace) and Thatcham, Nr Newbury (The West Berkshire Community Hospital).
Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Neuro-psychology input is provided in line with the BSRM services provision guidelines. We operate at Level 2b Neuro-rehabilitation unit, but occasionally support our acute teams in accepting much more complex level 1 patients should circumstances allow.
This is an inspiring time to join the RBFT as the Berkshire Neurorehabilitation services are transforming to expand services in an integrated acute and community pathway. Due to the pandemic, the Level 2b unit is operating at a temporary base at the West Berkshire Community Hospital. However, the permanent base will be in operation shortly. It is anticipated that the post-holder will take an active role in developing and transforming the services in line with the Trust's visions.
The appointee will join the existing multidisciplinary team to provide specialist care for Complex Neurorehabilitation patients with severe brain injuries in line with the BSRM standards that form the National Best Practice guidelines. The unit contributes data to the UKROC database, and the appointee is expected to ensure that data quality is maintained. The appointee may also be expected to undertake domiciliary visits to deliver spasticity management and neurological reviews. In view of the travelling involved, whilst not essential a car would be useful.
