Full-time Consultant Neurologist
Full-time Consultant Neurologist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust with a special interest in acute neurology and headache disorders in both inpatient and outpatient settings, the candidate will be expected to provide sub-specialty expertise to complement the delivery of a high quality, comprehensive Neurology service by the department. As of August 2026, neurology services in NUH is expected to expand bed base and move from a shared ward to a separate full warded bed base. This means increase consultant responsibility during oncalls. This will take place alongside restructuring our acute neurology provision from the current model.
NUH recognises the ongoing need for a General Internal Medicine (GIM) ward as a core component of acute medical service provision. To support this requirement and ensure sustainable ward staffing, all newly appointed consultants will have 0.5 WTE of their job plan allocated to GIM ward activity.
