Within the epilepsy service we provide first seizure, epilepsy surgery, adolescent transition, neuro-obstetrics and learning disability/epilepsy clinics in addition to the general/complex epilepsy clinics. Weekly MDTs are held with the neurophysiology department to review EEGs, and there is a twice monthly epilepsy surgery meeting. We are planning to expand our provision of video-telemetry. We plan to use this appointment to extend our contribution to the neuro-oncology team in the trust. This group has the prestigious Tessa Jowell accreditation as a Centre of Excellence from 2021. Furthermore, there is also a chance to lead on regional liaison with the neurofibromatosis service where there is an unmet need in the North East. The appointee will be expected to participate in the weekly academic meetings and will have the chance to contribute to the departmental teaching programme for the undergraduate medical students from Newcastle University and to contribute to the postgraduate training. The appointee will be expected to undertake administrative duties in relation to the care of his/her patients and in relation to the running of the Department of Neurology in co-operation with the Head of Department, Departmental Manager and Clinical Director.
