Job summary
We are looking to appoint a consultant neurologist to help shape services for the local community in the Bailiwick of Guernsey (65,000 people approx.)
This post has arisen as a result of retirement and offers the opportunity to change the way the off island specialist services are provided in the area of Neurology and is an excellent way to provide the island with ground-breaking accessibility and patient services. There is no formal on call associated with this post. We would welcome those who are interest in flexible working arrangements to make contact.
At present we have a less than full time locum neurologist in post who is based between Guernsey/UK.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for a candidate who demonstrates clinical excellence, is a good communicator and shares the values we place on long term partnerships.
The successful applicant will be expected to help develop the Neurology service in collaboration with colleagues and to provide integrated and high-quality service for patients. This will include trying to ensure that appropriate wait times for clinic are adhered to and provided in an effective, safe and efficient manner and the principles of risk management and clinical governance are maintained.
About us
We are a partnership of 56 Consultants, which, under contract, provides specialist medical services to the Guernsey Health Service with a health care model that is different and separate from the NHS. As well as providing contract care the MSG consultants also provide private care which is remunerated separately, but is carried out in both MSG and PEH facilities as there are no other private facilities on island. MSG administration and secretarial staff also support a consultant private practice. Tertiary care services are supplied by hospitals on the UK Mainland, mainly Southampton University Hospital, usually through contracted services.
The Princess Elizabeth Hospital is a modern hospital with approximately 145 beds and strong clinical links to UK mainland centres, particularly Southampton General Hospital and Kings College Hospital.
Our vision is to be internationally recognised as a centre of excellence for clinical care and loved by the Guernsey community.
Our purpose is to use our expertise and compassion to provide outstanding patient-centred services that improve the health of the community we serve.
