Employer heading
Consultant in Stroke Medicine
NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant
Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust is a friendly, integrated healthcare provider focused on improving the life chances and health outcomes of our diverse population.
We have three strategic objectives:
People: To cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff;
Patients: To be good or outstanding at everything we do;
Population: To work seamlessly with partners to improve lives;
We run services from Sandwell, City and Rowley Regis Hospitals, Birmingham & Midland Eye Centre, Birmingham Treatment Centre, the Lyng and Leasowes Intermediate Care Centre. Our GP practices and community teams provide care in schools, healthcare centres and at home.
Our next milestone is opening the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), a once in a career opportunity to shape care transformation within and beyond the hospital walls.
Developing and caring for our People is fundamental. We were one of the first Trusts to provide the Real Living Wage, as well as a Live and Work scheme to support people at risk of homelessness into paid work and training. We offer a range of staff benefits, health & wellbeing support and will help you to bring your ambition to life through our bespoke training and development programmes. As “People” is one of our three strategic objectives, we make a continued commitment to prioritise support for all our colleagues.
Healthcare services have a significant impact on the environment. We are committed to embedding sustainable practices. We expect all colleagues to support the delivery of our Green Strategic Plan and to drive positive changes in their department.
Job overview
We are seeking to employ 2 new substantive consultants in Stroke Medicine to join a team of stroke physicians, neurologists and a wide multidisciplinary team, who are all committed to delivering modern stroke care, across the full pathway.
In line with the Trust’s priorities, we aspire to develop a fully integrated care model. We have conducted an in-depth review of medical workforce based on the available national guidance and have drawn up a scheme which puts the patients and staff wellbeing at its heart.
We can accommodate candidates whose parent speciality is Medicine for Older People, Neurology or Rehabilitation Medicine. Applicants must provide evidence of training and experience in their parent speciality and Stroke Medicine plus full registration with the GMC or be within six months of achieving CCT in their parent specialty.
Closing date: 1st May 2024
Interview date: 23rd May 2024
Main duties of the job
SWBH NHS Trust provides care for an urban and diverse population of over half a million and stroke services are delivered at the Sandwell Hospital where we admit over 700 confirmed strokes annually. The Trust is preparing to move the acute services in the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital.
Our hyperacute pathway is supported by dedicated Stroke Alert Nurses that ensure timely delivery of the diagnostic and therapeutic components and admission to the Unit. Decision making is consultant led 24/7.
We are actively participating in clinical research and run a RCP accredited course for the management of hyperacute stroke twice a year. We have developed a robust Clinical Governance structure. The appointees are expected to work across the whole stroke pathway and support governance, training, education and research.
We therefore welcome to our team two enthusiastic and dynamic clinicians who can demonstrate a commitment to team working and an ability to participate in the delivery of modern stroke medicine. The post does not involve work or on-call commitments for acute medicine. However, this can be reviewed to accommodate individual special interest or wish to maintain acute GIM skills.
Working for our organisation
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens in 2024 and will provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH from 2024 (or beyond). If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continuing your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
We have three newly emerging strategic objectives:
- Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
- Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do
- Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
