of Preston, Chorley and South Ribble, the Trust also provides Neurophysiology services for a wider population of 1.6 million.

Some of your duties will include:

- Specifically adopt, in conjunction with colleagues, an active role in the planning, development and delivery of the Neurophysiology Service for the Directorate.

- Provide direct input to patients, contribute to multi-disciplinary teams and contribute to the co-ordination of care as appropriate for patients within Preston and Chorley Hospitals.

- Assume a continuous commitment to patients as appropriate, even if employed less than full-time and ensure that adequate arrangements are made for leave and off duty periods.

- Promote high professional standards of clinical practice, both through direct patient involvement and by the maintenance of continuing professional development.

- Exercise the freedom to develop specialist elements of the services to reflect perceived priorities within available resources.
