Job overview
We are delighted to offer a new and exciting opportunity for a Neurologist to join the Neurology team at Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust. The position has become available following the approval of a business case for the review and innovation of our current services.
The Neurology Department is developing integrated services with primary care, stroke, radiology and the regional Neuroscience Centres making greater use of MDT meetings. Part of this process involves developing inpatient beds to support inpatient neurology services within DVH and to support the stroke unit.
Main duties of the job
A formal Job Plan will be agreed between the appointee and their Clinical Director, on behalf of the Medical Director, within three months after the commencement date of the appointee. This will be signed by the Clinical Director and will be effective from the commencement date of the appointment. The Job Plan for the first three months will be agreed between you and the Directorate. The Job Plan will then be reviewed annually, following the Appraisal Meeting. The Job Plan will be a prospective agreement that sets out a Consultant’s duties, responsibilities and objectives for the coming year. It should cover all aspects of a Consultant’s professional practice including clinical work, teaching, research, education and managerial responsibilities. It should provide a clear schedule of commitments, both internal and external.
