About the Role
The appointee will join the Stroke team in order to ensure all stroke patients admitted to HUH receive the highest possible level of care. This will mean providing day to day care for stroke patients and outlying medical patients on the Graham stroke unit and also providing stroke-specific clinical input to general medical wards.
The inpatient component of the service is based on the Graham Stroke Unit (Acute Stroke Unit). There are strong therapy links with the Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit (RNRU) and the HTNRU for patients with complex needs who require further inpatient rehabilitation. The Stroke Unit is conforming to national clinical Standards and participating in the SSNAP (national audit for stroke and TIA). In addition to meeting the acute stroke and rehabilitation needs of the City and Hackney population, Graham Stroke Unit is also commissioned to provide further stroke rehab (in up to 6 beds) for patients with a Haringey primary care provider.
The Post-holder Will Be Required To
- Ensure Stroke Unit and TIA Provider status is maintained
- Continue to develop the daily TIA service and maintain appropriate links and referral pathways with local GPs
- Work with nursing and therapy colleagues to ensure the stroke unit has sufficient capacity to accommodate all suitable stroke patients on admission to the hospital
- Work with the local Hyper Acute Stroke Centre to ensure robust protocols for the transfer of patients following hyperacute treatments and/or stabilisation
- Assist the management team with the development of future Consultant and junior doctor roles
