We are a busy 29 bedded Stroke Unit offering specialised and excellent care for patients in their hyper-acute, acute, and rehabilitation phases post-stroke. We also manage other general medical conditions. We run a 24/7 thrombolysis & stroke assessment service, and you will be part of this dynamic team.

Are you willing to go that extra mile for your patients and really make a difference? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then we want to hear from you!
