Specialist Dietitian Stroke and Rehabilitation Annex 21 Band 6 (Fixed term 12 months)

Are you a band 5 dietitian wondering what opportunities exist to specialise in Stroke and Older Adults, working in an MDT environment? Ready to expand and develop your pillars of practice to a band 6 level?

This exciting opportunity has arisen within our Rehabilitation team which provides an acute city-wide service to, Stroke and Older Adult Rehabilitation, Regional Neurosciences, Trauma, and National Spinal Injuries Unit.

This post, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital provides input to Stroke and Older Adults in conjunction with colleagues and is supported by dietetic support workers.

Working within these patient groups allows the practitioner to follow the patient's journey from the acute phase of injury to the rehabilitation phase, as part of the MDT, which is extremely satisfying.

We have a large 80-bed stroke unit.

There are several ongoing developments within the team at present such as Quality Improvement within both Stroke and Dementia and a review of nutritional input in the frailty OPD pathway.

Participation in quality improvement projects is actively encouraged.

Interviews will be on the 28th
September 2013 where you will be required to deliver a 10 min presentation to the panel **"Demonstrating the Value of Dietetic Input "
