Job summary
The Atkinson Morley Regional Neurosciences Centre is the regional neurosciences specialist unit for south-west London and Surrey. 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. There are 233 in-patient and day-case beds, eight operating theatres and a range of state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities
These posts are not recognized for training nor do they attract an NTN. However, they do offer very high-quality experience, a very good grounding in neurology and stroke medicine and provide an excellent opportunity for candidates to gain valuable experience in preparing to apply for neurology or other ST3+ rotations or to enter research.
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.
Main duties of the job
Neurology and stroke outpatient clinics are held in the Atkinson Morley Wing OPD which has 12 examination rooms. Each registrar will have the opportunity to do clinics. There are specialised clinics in all neurological subspecialties. Registrars have the opportunity to observe and assist in these, as well as to observe the recording and interpretation of electroencephalography and other techniques of evoked potentials, including auditory, visual, somatosensory and brainstem.
Registrar rotaAll registrars who are on the on call rota are resident on call. The main rota is a 1 in 18 shift system with 1 in 18 nights. Prospective cover applies within neurology and stroke medicine. Additional on call shifts may be available covering other registrar's absence and extra shifts as needed in the evenings and weekends. Sometimes on-call rota slots are shared.
About us
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

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
