You will work closely with fellow consultants, nurse specialists, neurophysiology and stroke teams, as well as regional colleagues at the Queen Elizabeth Neurosciences Centre. The role includes supporting specialist clinics, contributing to the neurology/stroke on-call rota, teaching undergraduates and trainees, and participating in audit, clinical governance, and research activities. There is no general internal medicine commitment.
