Consultant in Stroke Medicine

This is an exciting opportunity for a Consultant Medicine Stroke to join the stroke team at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH). The post would be appropriate for a stroke geriatrician or physician with stroke specialty training in another allied field e.g. neurology or acute internal medicine depending on experience and interest. The Stroke service at the PRUH is highly performing and it is staffed by an energetic and dynamic team. The PRUH is one of London's 8 Hyper-acute stroke units with 15 HASU beds serving Bromley and outer Southeast London. As part of King's College Hospital NHS Trust, we are part of a 24:7 thrombectomy network in London, with close links in place with King's College Hospital Denmark Hill site HASU as well as St George's HASU. The post holder will work across both the Hyper-acute Stroke Unit (HASU) and Stroke Unit (25 beds) and, together with the multi-disciplinary team, provide and further develop care for stroke and other neurovascular patients from the local and regional catchment areas. Having recently been part of the Thrombolysis Acute Stroke Collaborative (TASC) quality improvement programme, this is a very exciting time to join the Stroke team PRUH with innovative new ways of working to improve our door to needle times for stroke thrombolysis. We have recently introduced pre-hospital video triage of stroke patients in partnership with London Ambulance Service and the London Clinical Network for Stroke.
