NHNN MD/MDC’sunique status as a national specialist referral centre with >10,000 MD patient visits annually, enables extensive training across the entire spectrum of MD, including PD, PSP, MSA, CBD, dystonia, tremor, tics & Tourette’s, functional MD, rare movement disorders and more. Training in ataxia, Huntington’s disease, Neurogenetics, Wilsons and neurometabolic MD, neuropsychiatry may also be provided through dedicated multidisciplinary services based at NHNN. The department has a long history of training fellows who learn the management of MD patients from first diagnosis through to advanced and late-stage disease. Fellows attend regular outpatient clinics and are responsible for evaluating patients, reviewing diagnosis, revising management decisions, and writing clinic summary letters - all under consultant supervision and guidance. Fellows also take part in weekly ward rounds where they experience the inpatient management of complex MD. A fellow will typically see ~20 patients per week (including in- and out-patients), about 25% of which are new or unknown diagnoses and the rest seen for follow-up care and treatment adjustments.
The clinic opportunities combine general MD clinical experience, with a selection of several specialized rotations, including rare/atypical PD, young onset/genetic PD, neuropsychiatry, autonomic, PD advanced therapies, functional neurosurgery/MR guided focussed ultrasound, neurophysiology, neurogenetics, Wilsons/metabolic, transition clinics (jointly with Great Ormond Street Hospital), rare MD diseases, dementia/MD. The firm is among the busiest in the hospital but remains one of the most popular choices among trainees. The fellow would join a firm with another SpR, 1-2 IMT level doctor attached to the firm.
