We wish to employ a consultant with deep knowledge of the field, and the motivation and energy for strengthening and developing our headache clinic, both in relation to the patients and the organisation.

The number of headache patients, and the increasing number of available treatments calls for new ideas, and for rethinking of our tasks as headache clinic. There will be a need for strong collaboration within the department, with other headache clinics, and with neurologist in private practise. We wish to focus on patient related quality of living and innovation.

 

The clinical tasks will have a focus on the out-patient clinic, but may also involve headache patients on the wards. The daily activities will include direct patient contact as well as supervision of and collaboration with nurses and junior doctors.

This position holds the opportunity of heading the clinical research unit, and we expect a significant contribution to the further development of our clinical research unit in general.
