Summary

This Locum Consultant Neurologist post is based across Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust. Outpatient and administrative work will be primarily based at Sandwell Health Campus and the Birmingham Treatment Centre (BTC), with inpatient responsibilities at the newly opened Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH). The Trust is currently undergoing service reconfiguration in line with the Right Care Right Here programme. Consequently, the postholder may be required to work across any of the Trust's sites to support service delivery as models of care evolve. The Neurology Directorate is a vital component of the Group of Medicine and Emergency Care and is undergoing exciting developments. In October 2024, inpatient neurology services successfully transferred to MMUH as part of a wider reconfiguration alongside stroke and TIA services. Future priorities include embedding new technologies and treatments in Neurology and Neurophysiology and working collaboratively to ensure national standards and performance targets are met. The successful candidate will also contribute to the shared care of patients in the Neurosciences Unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham with whom we have a close working relationship. All Consultants within our team currently participate in a weekly neuroscience MDT meeting as part of our collaborative working with regional partners. We are particularly interested in appointing a consultant with a sub-specialty interest that complements our existing service. Interests in Epilepsy are desirable, but we welcome candidates with expertise in any area that will support future service development.
