Please see attached job description and person specification for more details regarding the post including responsibilities and required/essential attributes. The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals and Poole Hospital, merged to form University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust in 2020, with a plan for all emergency services to be based at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital (RBH) site and all planned care at the Poole Hospital (PH) site by 2030. This provides an exciting backdrop of change and the chance to help develop innovative services and new pathways. Stroke is at the forefront of these changes. All in-patient stroke beds are now based at RBH, within our 43-bed purpose-built stroke unit, of which 8 beds are designated as hyper-acute stroke. Our weekday TIA Rapid Access Neurovascular clinic is currently based at PH, with weekends provided on a shared rota basis in collaboration with Salisbury Hospital (2 weekends at RBH and 1 weekend at Salisbury). Approval and investment funding has recently been agreed for a new 7-day Neurovascular Same Day Emergency Clinic (SDEC) which will be based at RBH, and plans are progressing to re-locate our weekday TIA service from PH to RBH and embed it within our new Neurovascular SDEC service (current timescale for re-location is May/June 2025). We also have a comprehensive Stroke Early Supported Discharge service which were in the process of expanding to support patients with higher levels of complexity and dependency. Our Stroke Service comprises of an extremely dynamic, proactive, and dedicated team of Consultant Stroke Physicians, Stroke Consultant Therapist, Stroke Consultant Nurse, Stroke Specialist Nurses, TIA Specialist Nurses, Stroke Outreach Team, Stroke Performance and Delivery Manager and our extremely professional multi-disciplinary team. In collaboration with the South West Ambulance Service, NHSE funding has recently been acquired to trial Pre-Hospital Video Triage for all patients within 24 hours of symptom onset seeking to expedite the appropriate care for patients and improve outcomes. The Trust has recently been confirmed as a site for the National Thrombolysis in Acute Stroke Collaboration (TASC), a key aim being to improve our thrombolysis rate.
