Main duties of the job
This is a new Specialist post ideally suited for general neurologist. A special interest in a sub specialty, including Motor neurone disease would be desirable. The post is non-site specific with primary clinical workload on the Hull Royal Infirmary site with other days of work at the NLAG sites, delivering both inpatient and outpatient services. They will supplement the work at the NLAG hospitals currently provided by the existent NLAG consultant Neurologist. The new consultants will also have a role, like the rest of the Humber Neurology team, providing care for inpatients, ward referrals and outpatients at Hull Royal Infirmary, which is a Neuroscience Centre.
