Crynodeb
In relation to this post, this is a substantive post for a consultant neurologist with a special interest in epilepsy. This post will deliver 10 PAs supporting the epilepsy team. The post will be based at Leeds General Infirmary. The consultant will join the epilepsy team. The epilepsy service manages a case load of around 10,000 patients for a population of 1.4 million, including West Yorkshire and parts of North Yorkshire. There are 2 consultant neurologists specialising in epilepsy and 3 hospital based epilepsy specialist nurses. The Leeds epilepsy team provides a comprehensive multi-disciplinary service for people with epilepsy in Leeds and is a tertiary centre for the epilepsy surgery programme. Outpatient epilepsy clinics (1st fit, adolescent, obstetric, epilepsy surgery low grade glioma and research trial clinics) are delivered at 2 hospitals in Leeds. The post-holder will support both inpatient and outpatient general neurology and epilepsy services at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. There will be opportunities to contribute to research and new developments within the Neurology service. The post holder will be encouraged to facilitate and contribute to the current clinical research programmes going on in the department For candidates who are dually accredited in GIM and have the relevant clinical experience, there is an expectation that within the job plan are 1.19PA of DCC to General Internal Medicine. This will be delivering inpatient care to the general medical inpatients. The new department of GIM, within the Speciality and Integrated Medicine Clinical Service Unit, is staffed by dual accredited physicians from Group 1 specialities, who will either work a consultant of the week model of care on a one in eight rota, providing a daily consultant ward round on the GIM ward or, for LGI specialities, providing inreach within the LGI footprint, supporting those patients in specialty areas with GIM needs. This is a brand new service, and will provide exciting opportunities for successful candidates to be involved in service development and quality improvement, as well as gain leadership and management experience. The GIMPAs in colleagues job plans will be reviewed after two years in post, with the likelihood (subject to individual wishes, and confirmation with your line manager) of this activity being passed on as new Group 1 speciality consultants are appointed to the organisation allowing incumbents to return that time to their department and allow them to develop further their parent speciality interest. An alternative option would be for the successful candidate to utilise the 1.19PA for the delivery acute internal medicine. Depending on the needs of the services involved this could be either as part of the acute medicine on call rota, or a commitment to the inpatient areas or SDEC facility. The timetable for this would be subject to negotiation, either taking a similar form to the GIM timetable, working 1 week in 8 or a fixed weekly commitment.
