Senior Clinical Fellow (ST3+)Neurology and Stroke Medicine Feb25-Aug25

Information:

This job is now closed

Job summary

These posts are not recognised for training nor do they attract an NTN. However, they do offer very high quality experience, a very good grounding in neurology and stroke medicine and provide an excellent opportunity for candidates to gain valuable experience in preparing to apply for neurology or other ST3+ rotations or to enter research. We work very hard to deliver high quality training. We have an excellent track record of supporting clinical fellows to secure NTNs in neurology or allied disciplines in London or other UK institutions. We will tailor the training available to the needs of each candidate so we can also provide "senior registrar" training for potential candidates who are post-CCT and looking for consultant positions.

We welcome applications from 'non-neurology' trainees who are primarily interested in gaining experience in Stroke Medicine. We can also consider senior SHOs to participate in this post if they are keen to do neurology or stroke medicine in the future. We provide interview training sessions and application support for those applying for neurology NTNs. Furthermore, if the trainee maintains a good record of training via the e-portfolio system, then it may be possible to have this year counted towards training in the future. We can also provide advice and support for those thinking of applying for a CESR in neurology.

About us

St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the main teaching hospital in the south west sector of London and as such has developed links with most district general hospitals throughout Surrey and Sussex and supports a significant training programme for junior doctors who rotate through the Trust. The Trust is on three sites: St George's Hospital, the base for acute general medicine, surgical services and level one neuro-rehabilitation, Queen Mary's Hospital Roehampton for rehabilitation and community services and St. John's Therapy Centre in Battersea. The Trust serves three local Primary Care Trusts and a population of about 1.3 million across South West London. A number of our specialist services, including Neurosciences, serve a population of around 3.5 million people across South West London, Surrey and Sussex.

Neurosciences used to be based at Atkinson Morley's Hospital in Wimbledon, where the world's first CT scanner was developed by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield and James Ambrose. In 2003, the hospital closed and moved to a new, purpose-built wing at St George's, sharing accommodation with the regional cardiothoracic unit. The new Atkinson Morley Wing is arranged over five floors, around inner courtyards. There are 233 in-patient and day-case beds, eight operating theatres and a range of state-of- the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities
