Full relocation package available Main duties of the job The role will require the provision of a comprehensive Acute Stroke and Stroke Rehabilitation Service with Consultant Colleagues. The successful appointee will also have responsibility for diagnosis and treatment of illness for several general medical inpatients. About Our Department: St. Mary's Hospital offers a 24 bedded mixed Hyper Acute, Acute and Rehabilitation Unit which is near the Emergency and Radiology Departments. We use Rapid AI and we are pleased to offer our patients CT perfusion imaging that can be performed rapidly at the time of initial imaging and improves diagnostic confidence and accuracy in the patient with hyperacute stroke; an excellent tool for neuro-interventionists. The rapidity by which CT perfusion may be obtained, coupled with its potential for predicting infarct core and penumbra can help to identify potentially salvageable areas of brain up to 24 hours from stroke and lead to successful mechanical reperfusion with good outcome. Our service would not operate without our dedicated team of clinicians including a Nurse Consultant, Specialist Nurses, and Therapists on site. Consultants from the Queen Alexandra Hospital rotate to St. Mary's on a weekly basis to support the service. At St. Mary's we offer Hyper Acute Stroke care, a 24/7 Stroke thrombolysis service (out of hours covered remotely by QAH), a 5-day TIA outpatient service, Stroke Early Supported Discharge Team, and Stroke rehabilitation.
