Job overview

We are seeking a highly motivated ST3+ Trust Grade Doctor (SPR Level) to join the UCLH Comprehensive Stroke Service. Based at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) in Queen Square and UCH on Euston Road, London, this role offers a unique opportunity to gain extensive experience in one of the UK’s largest stroke services.

As a Stroke Fellow, you will rotate through core and specialist stroke roles, participate in governance and teaching programs, and work within a 24/7 mechanical thrombectomy service and hyperacute stroke unit. You will also engage in a variety of multidisciplinary teams and contribute to pre-hospital stroke video triage.

This position provides excellent training in the management of stroke across all stages of care, with ample opportunities for service development and clinical research. You will receive the same educational supervision as other stroke SpRs with NTNs and have the chance to observe and learn from a broad range of specialist neurological clinics.

NHNN is internationally recognized for its clinical care and research, offering comprehensive care for a wide range of neurological conditions. The role includes daily teaching opportunities and the chance to work closely with experts in various neurological fields.
