This is a part-time new post consisting of 6 programmed activities – 6PAs at CUH.  The locum consultant would be involved in the development of the acute service for patients and any subspecialty interest would be considered but epilepsy or movement disorder or headache sub-specialism would be particularly helpful.  CUH are particularly interested in expanding the neuro-rehabilitation, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular and functional neurological disorder services, but all subspecialist interests could be considered.

There is a longstanding link between Croydon University Hospital and the tertiary centre at St George’s Hospital, which is essential for continuing medical education, governance, and reaccreditation.

The Trust was formed on 1st August 2010 through the integration of Croydon Community Health Services and Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust.

Our main hospital site, Croydon University Hospital is one of the busiest in London. We’re also leading the way in providing more healthcare outside hospitals at clinics, specialist centres and in people’s homes. Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon and our Children’s Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital. 

Across the NHS everyone is working hard to meet growing demand and we’re no exception. But with the right people on board, we are rising to this challenge, putting our people in the driving seat, encouraging innovation and transforming our services to give local people the quality of care they deserve. Croydon Health Services puts a great deal of importance on education and training throughout the careers of all of our staff. As well as offering access to a range of core skills training and professional development.
