Join us as we embark on the next chapter of our service, improving outcomes for a diverse and complex patient population of over 500,000.

The successful candidate will provide high-quality outpatient and inpatient neurological care at MMUH, contributing to the delivery and development of general and specialist neurology services. You will work closely with fellow consultants, nurse specialists, neurophysiology and stroke teams, as well as regional colleagues at the Queen Elizabeth Neurosciences Centre.
