Job Title: Senior Adult Vascular Neurosurgery Fellowship Specialty/Department: Neurosurgery Location: Leeds Teaching Hospitals Grade: Equivalent to ST8/Post CCT The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS trust is one of the largest trusts in the UK and provides comprehensive secondary services to Leeds and tertiary services to West and North Yorkshire. The General Infirmary at Leeds is situated in the centre of the city, adjacent to Leeds University, with which there are strong research and teaching links. INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT The Department of Neurosurgery provides a comprehensive neurosurgical service to the 2.5 million people of West and North Yorkshire. The Neurosurgical Department is housed within the Jubilee Wing of the General Infirmary at Leeds. The centralised Neurosurgical Department has approximately 84 adult ward beds across three wards, with an additional 7-bedded, dedicated Neuro-intensive Care Unit; as well as a 7-bedded dedicated High Dependency Unit. There are four adult operating theatres, including one dedicated to emergency surgery 24 hours per day. There are separate beds, operating theatres and intensive care facilities for Paediatric Neurosurgery. The Neurosurgical Department has close links with the other neuroscience specialties that are all on site including Neuroradiology, Neurology, Neuroanaesthetics and Neurophysiology. The Neuro-pathology department for Yorkshire is now based at St Jamess hospital and continues to provide a full histological and post-mortem service including facilities for intra-operative histopathology. The Neuroradiology Department is based at Leeds General Infirmary and comprises multiple Diagnostic Radiology Consultants, three of whom also provide Interventional Endovascular Services, together with one Hybrid-Trained Consultant Neurosurgeon. The General Infirmary at Leeds is a level 1 trauma unit and there are close links with surgical specialties including trauma, maxillofacial, plastics and ENT surgery. The Department's work has continued to increase over the past years. The current caseload is some 3000 inpatients per year and approximately 2000 operative cases per year. The department of Neurosurgery in Leeds provides world-class adult Neurovascular care. The service is consultant-led and delivered through dedicated subspecialty services. The Neurovascular services have very strong links with Neurology, Neuroradiology and Neuropathology (including cytogenetics) and Leeds University. As would be expected to support Vascular Neurosurgery, the theatres have BrainLAB neuro-navigation with Smart Brush Angio software, Zeiss Kinevo microscopes (including integrated navigation and QEVO inspection cameras), intra-operative ICG with Flow 800 software, fluorescein angiography and intra-operative ultrasound. Trans-cranial Doppler measurements are utilised for patients with potential DCI. All patients are discussed in a weekly MDT that conforms to the IOG Standards. Acute neurovascular patients also have an acute MDT-based treatment plan documented, ahead of securing their aneurysms. The acute Neurovascular service is currently led surgically by Mr Phillips, Mr Deniz, Mr Anderson and Mr Sheikh, with Mr Tyagi providing paediatric neurovascular surgery cover. It runs a weekly neurovascular MDT meeting, followed by an MDT clinic; run by Neurosurgeons, Interventional Neuro-Radiologists and Neurovascular Specialist Nurses, plus the Neurovascular Fellow (this post). Patients referred to this clinic are typically further investigated via Cerebral catheter angiogram with 3D reconstruction where appropriate. All patients are offered the choice of management options (where appropriate) including endovascular, as well as microsurgical treatment. Microsurgical treatment is augmented by use of neuro navigation, intra-operative ICG, neuro-physiological monitoring, endoscopic inspection tools and intra-operative Doppler. Leeds looks after approximately 200-230 acute patients presenting with subarachnoid haemorrhage every year. 35-45 patients undergo microsurgical treatment for intracranial aneurysms per annum (41 patients in 2022). We also offer microsurgery for a variety of other conditions, including cavernous haemangiomas, AVMs and dural AV fistulae. The Neurovascular service is supported by two Clinical Nurse Specialists, who work across the Neurosurgery and Neuro-Radiology departments and provide outreach via clinics, telephone consultation and patient support groups, as well as inpatient support. The Neurovascular team also runs a dedicated monthly neurovascular journal club and a quarterly neurovascular M&M meeting. The neurovascular fellow has an active role in the preparation and presentation for both of these activities.
