Stroke Post

Posted on the 30 November 2011 in Recruitment

The Severn Deanery is recruiting for sub specialty posts in Stroke Medicine. Currently there are 2 positions available, with the possibility of a further 2 posts becoming available depending on funding. The vacancy numbers could therefore increase. Applications are invited from existing holders of a National Training Number or equivalent for a year’s training in Stroke Medicine.

The posts available form part of the Department of Health initiative to increase the number of Stroke Physicians in the UK in response to the National Stroke Strategy.  A year of tailored and supervised training in stroke medicine, which is usually taken as an additional year within an existing SpR/StR programme in one of the major medical specialties, will lead to subspecialty accreditation in Stroke Medicine and would be particularly suitable for doctors with SpR/ST3+ experience and career intentions in General or Acute Medicine, Medicine for the Elderly or Neurology.
