Consultant Stroke Geriatrician
Croydon Health Services NHS Trust View all jobs
Posted 15 hour(s) ago
Reference: 2452097
Job summary
This is a substantive post replacing a colleague who is retiring. The successful applicant will work as a stroke physician embedded within the elderly care department, which forms part of the London stroke model. The post will be based at Croydon University Hospital; other work locations including off site working may be agreed within the job plan where appropriate. In addition to weekend on-call commitments within elderly care, there is the option to hold an honorary contract with the HASU at St George's Hospital to be part of the on-call HASU rota. There is some flexibility around this, and it can be discussed as part of negotiations prior to contract signing.
You will enjoy a high level of autonomy and support from your team, and you will share your specialist expertise while provide a stroke consultation and advisory service to medical colleagues in other specialties in the Trust, potentially in other locations.
Main duties of the job
The job plan is anticipated to contain 10 programmed activities per week. We are prepared to negotiate any changes on the job plan for the benefit of clinical service delivery and the department as a whole.
Supported by a team of 2 stroke consultants and a multidisciplinary team, you will be responsible for TIA clinics, and support inpatient referrals, ward rounds and MDT under consultant supervision as per an internal rota.
As part of your professional development, you will participate in current and future research programmes as well as in service developments in line with national targets and locally commissioned improvements.
The stroke physician will be responsible for half of the stroke unit and provide prospective cover to their colleagues for leave. They will rotate to cover the TIA clinic and perform and advise on stroke reviews from referrals elsewhere in the hospital. In addition, the individual will be required to play an active role in the general workload of the department while having a significant commitment to teaching and training of junior staff.
