Description

We are looking for an enthusiastic Consultant Neurologist to join our existing team of Consultants and Specialist Nurses to support the Neurology service provided across the West of Berkshire.

The medical team consists of five consultants and an Associate Specialist along with a specialist trainee from the Oxford Rotation and a GPSI.

There is a large team of ten specialist nurses led by a nurse consultant who provide support in individual disease areas.

Approximately 10,000 patients are seen in an outpatient setting per year.

In keeping with the Trust's aim of providing care closer to home, clinics are provided at the Royal Berkshire Hospital but also in facilities in Henley, Bracknell, Newbury and Wokingham.

There is also increasing provision of video-clinics.

Nerve conduction studies and EMG are provided by the neurologists in house and also insourced by a third party, with complex cases performed by neurophysiology services at the Oxford University Hospital Trust.

EEG is currently also provided in Oxford, although there are plans for a dedicated in-house service. There is a full range of imaging services and a weekly meeting with the neuro-radiologists

For further details please kindly refer to the attached Job Description and Person Specification.

If you would like to discuss this post or arrange a visit, please contact our Lead Neurologist, Dr Andrew Weir.
