This includes an inpatient Neurology ward (Charing Cross), Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC), a planned Neurological Treatment Unit (NTU), an Acute Neurology service, a wide range of sub-specialty outpatient clinics, and a number of Multi-disciplinary team meetings.

This is a large department with over 40 Consultant Neurologists linked to Imperial (based at Charing Cross, St. Mary’s, or Hammersmith Hospitals), many with clinical duties at allied District General Hospitals and/or research commitments within academic departments at Imperial College.

The Neurology department is complemented by the Hyperacute Stroke Unit, Neurosurgery Unit, Neuroradiology Department (with access to CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, and interventional neuroradiology), and Neurophysiology Department.

The post-holders will be expected to:

1. Contribute to the care of neurology inpatients and the acute neurology liaison service.
