Senior Clinical Fellow Neurology Stroke Medicine Feb 2025 / 26

The department prides itself on its focus on education and training and work very hard to deliver high quality training. In recognition of this, we are consistently one of the highest performing neurosciences units in the UK on the GMC Trainee Surveys. We have an excellent track record of supporting clinical fellows to secure NTNs in neurology or allied disciplines in London or other UK institutions. We will tailor the training available to the needs of each candidate so we can also provide "senior registrar" training for potential candidates who are post-CCT and looking for consultant positions., 1.

Sometimes on-call rota slots are shared.

St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the main teaching hospital in the south west sector of London and as such has developed links with most district general hospitals throughout Surrey and Sussex and supports a significant training programme for junior doctors who rotate through the Trust. The Trust is on three sites: St George's Hospital, the base for acute general medicine, surgical services and level one neuro-rehabilitation, Queen Mary's Hospital Roehampton for rehabilitation and community services and St. John's Therapy Centre in Battersea. The Trust serves three local Primary Care Trusts and a population of about 1.3 million across South West London. A number of our specialist services, including Neurosciences, serve a population of around 3.5 million people across South West London, Surrey and Sussex. Neurosciences used to be based at Atkinson Morley's Hospital in Wimbledon, where the world's first CT scanner was developed by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield and James Ambrose. In 2003, the hospital closed and moved to a new, purpose-built wing at St George's, sharing accommodation with the regional cardiothoracic unit. The new Atkinson Morley Wing is arranged over five floors, around inner courtyards. There are 233 in-patient and day-case beds, eight operating theatres and a range of state-of- the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities
