Consultant Neurologist
Contract Details This is a joint appointment on a PUBLIC ONLY CONSULTANT CONTRACT 2023 basis under the Consultants’ Contract 2023 with a commitment of 18.5 hours per week to the Coombe Hospital (TCH) and 18.5 hours per week to Tallaght University Hospital (TUH). The Consultant’s PUBLIC ONLY CONSULTANT CONTRACT 2023 provides for a normal working week of 37 hours. The Employee’s core working hours will be scheduled by the Employer to meet service needs and having regard to the principles, including rostering principles. The normal duties for the post as outlined in the documentation and agreed by the HSE will include inter alia: The successful candidate duties will include the following: Background and Purpose of the Post As per the Integrated Epilepsy and Maternity Model of Care, developed by the HSE’s NWIHP and HSE’s National Epilepsy Clinical Care Programme and signed off by the HSE’s CCO and the Department of Health, it is planned that each of the six tertiary maternity services within the state will have as part of its Maternal Health Department a designated consultant neurologist with a special interest in maternal health and a ANP with a special interest in epilepsy. These resources based in the relevant tertiary maternity site, are to be structured on a 50:50 basis between the maternity services and the relevant regional neurology hub. This will enable and support an integrated network of care across two specialist services. In 2024, the development of these resources are being prioritized in the following tertiary maternity services – The Rotunda Hospital, University Limerick Maternity Hospital and The Coombe Hospital. The role is 50:50 time commitment to Coombe and Tallaght University Hospitals providing care for Women with Epilepsy at the Coombe and affiliated regional Obstetric services, and Epilepsy care at Tallaght University Hospital to include a first seizure pathway and a longitudinal epilepsy care clinic. The post-holder will also actively participate in multidisciplinary skills and drills training, risk management and quality improvement strategies and liaise and provide support for primary care services and their seamless integration with hospital-based services. This post will significantly (a) improve access (b) reduce waiting times (c) reduce length of stay - due to involvement in decision-making re admissions and discharge planning and the expansion of Neurology and day case treatments (d) increase patient safety and quality of care. Increased efficiency will off-set the need for significant expansion in other services. The HSE’s National Women and Infants Health Programme working with the National Epilepsy Clinical Care Programme has identified the absolute requirement for the implementation of an integrated model of care for the management of women with epilepsy (WWE) attending maternity services. A practice guide for the safe management of WWE attending maternity services was developed in 2018 under the governance of the National Epilepsy Clinical Care Programme. However to date the dedicated resources to safely deliver this care in the HSE Dublin & Midlands Region have not been readily available. Neurology services including the neurology regional hub in TUH are under significant pressure from the overall demands on their specialist service, resulting in tertiary maternity services like The Coombe Hospital struggling to access structured dedicated specialist medical resources and inputs that are aligned and protected for women attending their services. This presents a very real and significant clinical risk in the management and care of WWE attending maternity services, with this risk being further heightened in circumstances whereby the patient is no longer under the active care or clinical governance of a designated neurologist or neurology service. The need for a resourced and structured integrated model of care between specialist neurology/epilepsy services and tertiary maternity / women’s health services is further compounded when other key elements and issues are factored in including · The pathway that women travel with epilepsy and how their life decisions regarding their reproductive and sexual health impact the management and their experience of epilepsy, · The requirement of the HSE to respond in a robust and structured manner to requirements surrounding the safe prescribing and use of sodium valproate; · The specific recommendations of the practice guide regarding WWE attending maternity services and the need for these recommendations to be implemented by the HSE so to enhance the safety of women attending maternity services; and · The clinical care needs of women attending maternity and other women’s health services who present with neurological conditions – new or existing – other than epilepsy. · The appointee will participate with colleagues within the Maternity Model of care for Women with Epilepsy to further the goals or PREVENT and establish a HSE supported Anti-Seizure Medicines Pregnancy Registry This post is being developed to address two pressing needs (i) delivery high quality neurological care for women attending obstetric services at The Coombe Hospital and (ii) develop clinical neurology services at TUH with particular focus on improving care for people attending the epilepsy service.
