Advanced Clinical Practitioner in Neurophysiology

Join to apply for the Advanced Clinical Practitioner in Neurophysiology role at Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust.

Are you looking for a new challenge and interested in a newly created post in Neurophysiology?

Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust are seeking to recruit a qualified Advanced Clinical Practitioner in Neurophysiology. This new position is primarily to support the peripheral neurophysiology team, performing complex nerve conduction studies and routine EMG. The successful candidate will have completed an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice within a Neurophysiology setting and will work closely with their Consultant Neurophysiologist supervisor and the wider Neurophysiology team. They will also lead the development of future trainee ACPs for SWB.

If no applications are received from qualified ACPs, the recruiting team will consider interested Clinical Scientists for a 3-year trainee ACP role, dependent on experience. Salary will be reduced during training.

All applicants should be HCPC registered or expected to achieve STP equivalence before September for those interested in the training pathway.

The main department is based at the Birmingham Treatment Centre with outpatient clinics. Inpatients are managed at the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital. Outpatient services are planned to move to Sandwell Health Campus, a proposed CDC development in the Black Country.

Responsibilities include performing routine EMG and complex nerve conduction studies, supervising physiologist-led peripheral neuropathy clinics, reporting on investigations, and engaging in leadership, training, and audit activities in Neurophysiology. Limited EEG clinics and portable EEG are also part of the role to maintain competencies. An on-call rota (1:10) involves performing EEG out of hours.

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust serves Birmingham and the Black Country, an area known for its cultural diversity. The Trust values ambition, respect, and compassion, aiming to improve health outcomes and life chances for its population. We foster a supportive environment for staff development and career growth.
