Clinical Fellow in Stroke Medicine

The closing date is 11 November 2025

We are looking for dynamic and innovative individuals to join our team and help to develop the delivery of high class stroke services across the Humber Health Partnership across the whole stroke pathway. They will be responsible for the assessment and management of patients and will participate in the middle grade on-call rota supporting all aspects of hyperacute stroke care including thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy and management of intracerebral haemorrhage. The appointees will also contribute to the recruitment of patients to clinical trials including hyperacute stroke trials. They will also contribute to the TIA service and support the prehospital stroke pathway with the assessment of patients using pre-hospital video triage.

Main duties of the job

They will work closely with our hyperacute stroke nursing team facilitating early assessment of patients in ED minimising delays to assessments and also hyperacute treatments where indicated ensuring also that these are delivered in a timely manner.

They will also support patients during rehabilitation preventing and managing medical complications alongside aiding patient and family decision making. Support for the out‑patient follow up of patients following discharge will also form part of the role. There are weekly educational sessions and also regular clinical governance and morbidity and mortality reviews. The stroke clinical fellows will be responsible for coordinating a weekly review of thrombolysis and thrombectomy decision making. They will also play an active part in the weekly MDT meeting.

Whilst the clinical fellow posts are not formally approved training posts, the post holder will have consultant‑led education and supervision and will be supported in their professional development. Ideally applicants should have completed MRCP. Applicants should also be competent clinicians and have experience in general and geriatric medicine. Experience in stroke is also desirable but not essential.
