  • Supervise and mentor medical staff, physician associates, and allied health professionals
  • Contribute to research, audit, and service improvement initiatives in line with regional and national stroke care standards
  • Participate in the regional Integrated Stroke Delivery Network (ISDN) and associated education and workforce programmes

Requirements

  • Proven clinical competence in acute and hyperacute stroke management
  • Experience interpreting stroke imaging (CTA, CTP, MRI)
  • Strong leadership and communication skills within a multidisciplinary environment
  • Demonstrated commitment to teaching, clinical audit, and governance
