Consultant Neurologist
The closing date is 01 June 2026
Full‑time Consultant Neurologist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust with a special interest in movement disorders and deep brain stimulation (DBS).
The post will entail the delivery of neurology services in the region. The successful applicant will work within a team of Consultant Neurologists. This role will have subspecialty commitment in movement disorders, including the delivery of the Midlands DBS service. Experience in this field is essential. The role will also include cover general and acute neurology at Nottingham University Hospital and Sherwood Forest Hospital.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will be expected to do a mix of general neurology clinic and subspecialty clinics. Booking criteria for general neurology clinics are per the ABN guidance with 30 minutes allocated for a new patient and 15 minutes for each follow up patient. It is expected 5 patients are booked into each general neurology clinic and the rest of the clinic can be follow up slots. Each clinic session is typically 4 hours. The number of clinics expected to be performed by the successful candidate is included in the job plan attached.
The post-holder will be responsible for the care of patients in his or her charge. The successful applicant will also be expected to contribute to the delivery of teaching and training to students at Nottingham University Medical School, as well as to contribute to the teaching, training and supervision of Specialist Trainees in Neurology, who are in the East Midlands Deanery training programme.
As the regional Neurosciences centre, in addition to delivering tertiary specialist services in Neurology, the Neurology department at NUH must also contribute to the provision of a comprehensive Neurology service in the wider region of the East Midlands. Accordingly, the successful candidate should expect to contribute to the provision of the neurology services at other hospitals in the region. This would be for the maximum of one day per week (or the equivalent), and in line with the expectations of existing members of the department.
About us
Clinical Neurology forms part of the Nottingham Regional Neuroscience Unit and serves the population of Nottingham. It also provides an outreach neurological service to Kings Mill Hospital in Mansfield. We continue to engage with other peripheral hospitals and support their neurology services as needed.
The Movement disorders service at NUH looks after the full range of movement disorders, and we work in partnership with our geriatrician colleagues. We offer the full range of advanced therapies for Parkinson's disease (DBS, duodopa and produodopa) as well as multiple toxin injection clinics. The DBS service has been running for 15 years covering the East Midlands, and expanded to cover the West Midlands in 2021. We currently operate on 25 patients per year, but this post would allow expansion of this.
