Job description
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
Job Title: Clinical Fellow
Department: General Older People & Hyper-acute & Acute Stroke Units, Older People and Stroke
Location: Royal Alexandra Hospital
Duration: Six Months
We are delighted to advertise Clinical Fellow posts based in the Older Peoples Wards and Stroke Unit, Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH).
Theses posts are available for candidates with experience working within the NHS in an Older People or Stroke setting.
These posts are available at FY2 completion level from 6th August 2025.
Older Peoples Wards
We have several dedicated wards, staffed by specialist nursing, medical and allied health professional (AHP) teams providing an excellent patient and carer experience.
We are looking for the successful candidate to support our admission pathways, working closely with the on call Consultants and wider multi professional team within the Older Peoples Service. The successful candidate will be involved in the review and discharge planning of those patients within Older Peoples Wards.
The Stroke Service
This post is open to those candidates who wish to join our dynamic, multidisciplinary Stroke team, providing all aspects of stroke care. Our stroke inpatient service comprises 42 inpatient beds, for adults of all ages. There are 12 Hyper-acute admission beds, alongside a 30 bedded assessment and stroke rehabilitation ward.
The newly developed Hyper-acute stroke unit provides a weekday, daytime, thrombolysis service. This provides an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to work in conjunction with the hyper acute medical and nursing team, to assess and treat eligible patients, within the thrombolysis window. In addition, stroke liaison and assessment of early direct admissions are core components of this post. This would involve working closely with the Specialist Stroke Nurses, Consultant colleagues and the wider MDT.
Stroke care bundle compliance is a key objective for the stroke team and the successful candidate will be involved in initiatives to develop our pathways to ensure our patients receive an appropriate care bundle, in accordance with the Scottish Stroke Standards.
There are currently 4 Stroke consultants, 3 Hyper-acute nurses and 3 Stroke Nurse Specialists providing input to the stroke service. The stroke unit also benefits from good working links with other services, such as diagnostics and community teams.
