Ref: 224349 Registrar/PHO/Internal Medicine/Neurology Southern TAS

- The Department of Neurology is fully accredited for neurology training and provides management of an average of 20-25 neurology and stroke inpatients, plus serves a wide range of subspecialty clinics and neurophysiology services.
- The position is for inpatient care of neurology inpatients (average of around 10) and assessment of consults (2-4 average daily) across the hospital, working in a team with supportive consultant on ward service and a resident medical officer. Inpatient work includes assessment and admission of patients from ED. Procedurally, experience with lumbar puncture is desirable, though not essential as other registrars and consultants are able to perform, as well as train a recent staff member in technique. On call work includes assessment for neurological emergencies and acute stroke therapies, well supported by the in house resident staff, consultant neurologist and interventional neuroradiologist on call. There would also likely be one Sunday shift in January as part of the wider hospital medical emergency team (MET).



There is also one outpatient neurology clinic per week, largely for follow-up of recent inpatients, though scope to alter this pattern, depending on interest and experience.
- Note the department is well regarded as a supportive and training-oriented group, experienced at welcoming new staff to the department, as part of a rotation for VIC/TAS advanced trainees in neurology. Further, we welcome junior and less experienced staff to our department, aiming to break down ‘neurophobia’ and increase confidence in assessment and management of neurological problems
