There is joint working across Neurosurgery, Trauma, Stroke, Neurophysiology and Neuropsychiatry. The Neurology team consists of 24.85 WTE consultants as well as support from Clinical Nurse Specialists and Physiotherapists. The speciality delivers outpatient-based activity which includes some procedure-based activity that takes place within the outpatients setting. Neurology has 36 inpatient beds on ward 411 that are used to provide both a regional tertiary service and local secondary care provision. The elective inpatient element delivered by Neurology consists of procedures carried out in several locations within the Trust for example: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and infusion therapies delivered on a dedicated day case unit for neurology patients; muscle biopsy delivered in Welcome theatres; and a variety of procedures (including lumbar punctures) via Ambulatory Care Beds.

These are whole time appointments to the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. The appointee would provide a maximum of 10 programmed activities, comprising a minimum of 8 programmed activities for direct clinical care and a maximum of 2 for supporting professional activities. All new consultants will be expected to take on additional educational, research or management responsibilities to contribute to SPA time to bring this time to 2.0 SPAs and that failing this, the job plan will revert to allocation of 1.5 SPA. The outpatient work (4 clinics) will include specialist clinics and general neurology clinics with the mix and sub-speciality determined by the needs of the department and experience of the appointee. The appointee 's role will include provision of outpatient General Neurology and ward consultations. The post-holder will also be expected to contribute to the regional neurology on-call rota (1:18, with these appointments). There would be an expectation to provide outpatient clinics and support for acute neurology in other hospitals within the Trust (e.g.: Heartlands, Solihull and Good Hope Hospitals) or with the neighbouring District General Hospitals.

It is expected that the post holder will work in close collaboration with the other consultants in providing clinical care for patients. In addition, there are dedicated clinical nurse specialists.

Commitment to research (including multi-centre trials) and teaching is encouraged. This will be reflected in the SPA time and in the applicant 's job plan. The University of Birmingham is located adjacent to the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital and an honorary appointment to the University will be available to an applicant with an active research interest.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

A good attitude and positive action towards ED&I create an environment where all individuals can achieve their full potential. Creating such an environment is important for three reasons: it improves operational effectiveness, it is morally the right thing to do, and it is required by law. Patients and their families have the right to be treated fairly and be routinely involved in decisions about their treatment and care. They can expect to be treated with dignity and respect and will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Patients have a responsibility to treat other patients and our staff with dignity and respect. Staff have the right to be treated fairly in recruitment and career progression. Staff can expect to work in an environment where diversity is valued and equality of opportunity is promoted. Staff will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Staff have a responsibility to ensure that you treat our patients and their colleagues with dignity and respect.

This practice is committed to supporting and promoting opportunities for staff to maintain their health, well-being, and safety. You have a duty to take reasonable care of health and safety at work for you, your team, and others, and to cooperate with employers to ensure compliance with health and safety requirements. All personnel are to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Environmental Protection Act 1990, Environment Act 1995, Fire Precautions workplace Regulations 1999, and other statutory legislation.

Confidentiality

This practice is committed to maintaining an outstanding confidential service. Patients entrust and permit us to collect and retain sensitive information relating to their health and other matters, about their care. They do so in confidence and have a right to expect all staff will respect their privacy and maintain confidentiality at all times. It is essential that if the legal requirements are to be met and the trust of our patients is to be retained all staff protect patient information and provide a confidential service. All staff are required to sign and adhere to the Confidentiality Policy.

Quality & Continuous Improvement CI

To preserve and improve the quality of our output, all personnel are required to think not only of what they do but how they achieve it. By continually re-examining our processes, we will be able to develop and improve the overall effectiveness of the way we work. The responsibility for this rests with everyone working within the practice to look for opportunities to improve quality and share good practice. This practice continually strives to improve work processes that deliver health care with improved results across all areas of our service provision. We promote a culture of continuous improvement, where everyone counts and staff are permitted to make suggestions and contributions to improve our service delivery and enhance patient care.

Learning and Development

The effective use of training and development is fundamental in ensuring that all staff are equipped with the appropriate skills, knowledge, attitude, and competencies to perform their role. All staff will be required to partake in and complete mandatory training as directed by the training coordinator. Staff will also be permitted subject to approval to undertake external training courses which will enhance their knowledge and skills, progress their career, and ultimately, enable them to improve processes and service delivery.
