Senior Clinical Fellow in Parkinson's Disease

This is an amazing opportunity, which we believe is a ground breaking role. This locally employed training fellowship is designed to provide a senior trainee with the opportunity to work with an award-winning Parkinson's Multidisciplinary Team. It is hoped that on completion of the post, the trainee will have acquired the skills and confidence to take on a consultant role with a special interest in Parkinson's at some point in the future.

Working towards a November 2026 start, we welcome applications from trainees who have this career aim in mind. ST4-ST7 trainees in Neurology, Geriatric Medicine, Rehabilitation Medicine or Palliative Medicine (or CESR equivalent) or non-consultant CCST holders are eligible to apply. We will also consider rehab med and palliative med applicants.

Please note if you apply for the post as ST6 or above, this post will only be available on a less than full time basis, at 0.87wte.

We want you to learn and progress and for this post to add real value; numerous training opportunities are available and you will be actively encouraged to access these options.Based at Royal Derby Hospital the appointee will undertake duties in the neurology-led movement disorder clinic and the DME-led Multidisciplinary Parkinson's clinic at the Florence Nightingale Community Hospital. There may be opportunities and potentially a requirement to work across other UHDB sites in order to develop the service and should the need arise.This post will allow the trainee to develop expertise in the assessment and management of people with Parkinson's. Weekly MDT meetings provide a fantastic educational opportunity and there is chance for a forward-thinking individual to shape service developments.
