Stroke Medicine, Consultant
Total Shifts: 1
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Stroke Medicine Consultant to join a specialist clinical team delivering high-quality, patient-centred care across acute and hyperacute stroke services. The successful candidate will contribute to the assessment, diagnosis and management of patients presenting with suspected stroke and transient ischaemic attack, supporting timely access to thrombolysis, thrombectomy pathways and specialist rehabilitation.
You will provide senior clinical leadership across inpatient and ambulatory services, working closely with emergency medicine, neurology, neuroradiology, nursing, therapies and community partners. Duties will include leading ward rounds, supervising junior doctors, contributing to multidisciplinary meetings, advising on complex cases and ensuring safe, effective discharge planning. You will also support the development of integrated pathways that improve outcomes and patient experience throughout the stroke journey.
The post holder will participate in the consultant on-call rota and provide expert advice to colleagues across the wider service. You will be expected to maintain accurate clinical records, contribute to clinical audit and research, and take an active role in quality improvement, risk management and the implementation of evidence-based practice. Involvement in service planning and the development of future stroke services will also be encouraged.
Applicants must hold full registration with the General Medical Council and be eligible for inclusion on the Specialist Register in Stroke Medicine, Neurology, Geriatric Medicine or another relevant specialty, or be within an appropriate period of gaining this. Substantial experience in acute stroke care is essential, including the management of thrombolysis and, ideally, thrombectomy referral pathways. Excellent communication, leadership and team-working skills are required, together with a commitment to teaching and professional development.
This role offers the opportunity to shape high-quality stroke care within a supportive, forward-thinking clinical environment. Flexible working and opportunities for continuing professional development will be available, subject to service requirements.
