Role: Doctor (Head Injury & Concussion Care Service)
Salary: Per patient or per session rate
Location: Remote working via Return2Play’s telemedicine system
What is the job?
We are always on the look out for doctors to join our growing team of concussion specialists. Doctors working in our Head Injury & Concussion Care service perform an essential role in guiding injured players through return to sport guidance from the point of injury to full return to play. They provide early review of injured patients, providing advice and education to optimise recovery, advise on the safe gradual return to sport and give final clearance to return to full sport. All players are managed in line with National Governing Body guidance.
The successful applicant will be provided with training to safely manage patients and will have access to advice from senior clinicians via a Clinical Nurse/Physio Specialist and an established MDT referral pathway. There will be scope for further training and progression with experience.
The role is flexible in terms of both time commitment and days of the week worked and can be fitted around current work commitments.
