About The NSIC
The NSIC is the largest spinal cord injuries unit in the UK and is regarded as a leader in the field of spinal cord injuries (SCI) both in the UK and worldwide.
The NSIC provides a comprehensive range of rehabilitation programs for patients ranging from the most acute spinal injury to Cauda Equina.
As a national centre of excellence, the NSIC treats patients from across the country, many of whom have been referred by other hospital consultants for rehabilitation.
Patients benefit from a team of highly specialised consultants, many of whom are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise and experience.
Summary
Doctors will be expected to provide spinal medical care at the level of Core Trainee, including the assessment of patients’ day-to-day medical needs both chronic and acute, and work with the multi-disciplinary team to provide input on the medical aspects of spinal cord injury care.
Outside core working hours, doctors will cover the acute adult wards (including post-surgery patients) and the children’s rehabilitation ward with paediatric input.
