After several years of ever closer working, North Mid and Royal Free London are planning to come together as one organisation to enable them to go further and faster in improving services for patients and the health of the local community than they can achieve separately. The merger of North Mid into the RFL group is currently expected to take place on 1 January 2025, subject to NHS England and Secretary of State approval.

This post is primarily to deliver high standard of specialist occupational therapy Stroke & Neurorehabilitation to inpatients admitted to our rehabilitation ward - Magnolia unit. This is an exciting time to join the service as we develop integrated rehabilitation pathways across acute, P2 bedded care and community services.

Within the rehabilitation service the post holder who by reason of their specialist knowledge, underpinned by theory, practice and experience, will deliver a high quality specialist service, providing expert clinical interventions & education / support to patients and their carers. The post holder will provide patient assessment, case coordination, and treatment and planned discharge for adults with a primary neurological diagnosis including Stroke.

The post holder will be responsible for the education of, monitoring and delivery of service provided by junior staff and therapy support workers.

North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICS’s, we are working increasingly closely with partners and indeed many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level. Whilst all organisations remain as standalone, statutory bodies we have an ICS infrastructure for making shared decisions and agreeing shared approaches.

We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George’s University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
