The Evelina London Children’s Hospital is seeking to appoint a 10 PA locum consultant to support the neurology department in its provision of acute inpatient and long term outpatient care to children with neurological disorders within the South East Thames region. They will take a major role in the delivery of complex epilepsy services at Evelina London and within the South East Thames Epilepsy Network.
• The post-holder will undertake general paediatric neurology and complex epilepsy clinics at Evelina London and will be expected to support the regional clinic model which operates to provide direct referral pathways for children with epilepsy who are then managed jointly with special interest general paediatricians in the South East Thames region of England.
• The General Neurology remit will support the strategic direction of the Children’s Neuroscience Department as a whole and ensure the incumbent remains abreast of developments in Paediatric Neurology in general.
• The incumbent will participate in the Paediatric Neurology on-call rota for ELCH. This is on an approximate 1 in 9 basis for a week in service. For this on call week all elective activity will be cancelled. Non-resident supervision and attendance will be required for this week. This supports departmental strategy.
The Children’s Neurosciences department provides a tertiary service which includes an integrated and comprehensive Neurology, Rehabilitation and Neurodisability service for children and their families from South East Thames and beyond, serving a total population of over 9 million people. We work closely with our Neurosurgical colleagues at Kings College Hospital to ensure a comprehensive Paediatric Neurosciences service is managed within Kings Health Partners.
Every year, 2500 inpatients and more than 7000 outpatients are seen within the Children’s Neurosciences service. Services are provided from a recently refurbished purpose designed outpatient department in the South Wing of St Thomas’ Hospital together with facilities in ELCH. Inpatient, Neurophysiology and Neuroradiology facilities are in the main Evelina Children’s Hospital which is also on the St Thomas’ site.
