This is a new full‑time Consultant post. The remit is to work closely with the Neurosurgical team at King's to provide intraoperative monitoring (IOM) for neurooncology and other surgical subspecialties. The neuro‑oncology unit is expanding to become the largest in the UK and the volume and complexity of cases require in‑house dedicated IOM support. The postholder will work flexibly to ensure continued service provision and support the in‑house team of clinical physiologists in IOM.
