This is a replacement post at an exciting time in the development of our regional stroke service.
Stroke services at the Trust are currently provided from the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, Worthing Hospital and St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester.
This post will be based at Worthing Hospital.
There is a reconfiguration of stroke services across West Sussex underway.
From 2027, St Richards Hospital will host the designated Acute Stroke Centre for West Sussex with work underway to create a new purpose-built unit on that hospital site. The stroke service at Worthing will move to St Richard’s Hospital at that time and be hosted in the new purpose-built facility.
This post will be based at St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester from then.

The clinical duties of the post include the following:
- Daily work on HASU including attending stroke calls and assessing patients for thrombolysis/thrombectomy
- Daily TIA clinics
- OP stroke clinic (held weekly but shared between colleagues). There is potential to expand this service including virtual and face to face appointments
- Attendance at daily board rounds and MDTs
- Please note that all the above duties are shared between colleagues to ensure continuity of care for patients and to allow individuals to develop their own sub speciality interest
On Call Commitment: 1 in 7 weekends and 1 in 7 weekdays. Category B, 2% supplement. There is an expectation that patients will receive a consultant review as soon as possible – either on the day of admission or on the following morning.

Alongside the build, the ICB / Trust is investing heavily in expanding the workforce across stroke services and the associated disciplines to deliver this expanded and redesigned service.
The Royal Sussex County Hospital is a Comprehensive Stroke Centre, with neurology, neurosurgery and neurophysiology on site. It provides the mechanical thrombectomy service to Sussex patients on weekdays. We also work with the University Hospital Southampton to provide a MT service at weekends for patients attending Worthing pending the expansion of our local service, planned for 2025,
