Overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic colleague specialising in Neurointervention to join an established team of 17 Neuroradiologists at NUH (including five INRs). We are an extremely busy regional INR centre providing cover for approximately 4 million population.
On an average we perform 280‑300 neurointervention cases and around 130‑150 MT each year. The INR department is actively involved in various research activities. We have already concluded our randomised controlled trial (ProFate trial) and are currently recruiting patients in the international multicentre trial (ESCAPE MeVO).
There is a plan to further expand the Neurointerventional team with a view to develop a 24/7 mechanical thrombectomy (MT) service for hyperacute stroke in 2024. The NUH interventional neuroradiology team undertakes a wide range of diagnostic interventional procedures pertaining to Neurosciences, Spinal and Head & Neck specialties. The academic department is headed by two Neuroradiology Professors of the Department of Radiological Sciences.
The Department of Diagnostic Imaging is part of the Specialist Clinical Services Care Group. A full range of Neurosciences and Head and Neck emergency and elective patients are admitted to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and the appointee will be responsible for the management of those patients admitted under his/her care.
We provide a comprehensive elective and emergency neurointervention service in partnership with Consultant colleagues, reciprocal cover for periods of leave, and continue to oversee patient care and departmental functioning.
