Neurophysiological testing for adults and children of all ages as out-patients, as well
as an active in-patient service which includes referrals from other tertiary Centres
nationally.
A Satellite service is provided by King’s to Medway Hospital in Kent. Staff from
Kings undertake duties on a rotational basis. In addition there is a growing demand

participate on a rotational basis.

which will include EEG (ambulant/non-ambulant/portable), Nerve Conduction studies
Evoked Potentials, AFT, IP & Home Telemetry, Electrocorticography and Intraoperative monitoring, This part of the service also requires the availability of staff to
provide On-Call and unsociable hours of working (i.e. weekends, early mornings and

Physiologists (Band 7 & Band 8).
The department has close links with academic dept of epilepsy with a known history
of collaborative research activities, and has a newly established research structure
allowing Clinical Physiologist to participate in research activities alongside clinical
duties.
It will involve collaborative working with Senior Clinicians and academic staff and
due to the nature of the role there will a requirement for occasional unsocial hours
work. You will be self motivated and have a proven track record of working under
