Senior Clinical Fellow for Stroke Services
This is a full-time one-year fixed-term appointment to a Senior Clinical Fellow (STR3+ Equivalent) within the Stroke Service.
Stroke Medicine Is a Vibrant Specialty At The Norfolk And Norwich University Hospital
There have been significant developments over the last few years. Patients are now admitted directly to the Hyperacute Stroke Unit (Heydon Ward). Urgent CT is available, and 24/7 Thrombolysis is supported by a Rota of Band 6 Nurses. Applicants with a variety of experience are welcome to apply. Examples may include:
- General Medicine
- Geriatric Medicine
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- General (Internal) Medicine/Acute Medicine
- Cardiology
- Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics
The appointment is to the Trust, not to specific hospitals.
All doctors, including the appointee, will be expected to be involved in implementing the Trust’s Clinical Governance programme. This includes active participation in clinical audit, quality, clinical guidelines/pathways, professional development, appraisal, and risk management.
Every encouragement will be given to the candidate to get through his/her exams and also expand his/her experience in all aspects of Stroke Medicine and General Medicine. Intensive training for the MRCP exams and PACES is available in the NNUHFT.
