Main duties of the job
You will be based in our Neuro ward, which consists of an acute/rehab stroke unit and general neurology inpatients, and will be responsible for neuro and neuro-oncology outliers. There will also be chance to manage a small outpatient caseload of neurology and/or neuro-oncology patients. You will work closely alongside the MDT, running a 7 day service.

Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career.
