Substantive full time Consultant Clinical Neurophysiology opportunity at RNOH
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust (RNOH) is seeking to appoint a Consultant Clinical Neurophysiologist to join our specialist clinical team.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a dynamic and forward-thinking neurophysiology service at one of the UK’s and the world`s leading specialist orthopaedic hospitals.
This is a fulltime position (10 PAs) which offers some flexibility in the working schedule, as EEG reporting, can often be done remotely.
The role also includes the opportunity to engage with both NHS and Private Care Unit (PCU) services. The postholder will contribute to delivering safe, high-quality services for all patient groups, ensuring consistency of practice, adherence to Trust policies, and effective collaboration with multidisciplinary teams across both service streams.
We would strongly advise any interested applicants in contacting the service leads to discuss any details or clarifications required for this post. We welcome applicants internally and externally to the UK. The team has a great track record of multidisciplinary working, team working and in providing excellent support to new colleagues.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will provide a full range of nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) services, a significant proportion of which are complex referrals from the Peripheral Nerve Injury (PNI) unit. The appointed person would be expected to be able to undertake this on all available equipment, currently Cadwell Sierra summit EMG/EP systems.
They will also be required to support physiologist led carpal tunnel clinics & report on these tests. The successful applicant will be required to report on EEGs. The department performs a substantial amount of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during spinal & peripheral nerve explorative surgery.
This part of the service is physiologist led but governed by the consultant neurophysiologist. Whilst ‘hands on’ involvement is not expected it could provide an interesting adjunct to the job role.
The Job description is indicative, pending College approval.
