Neurologist

Welcome to the Beatrix Hospital, a dedicated hospital in Gorinchem and Leerdam, part of Rivas Zorggroep. Here you will get the opportunity to practice neurology in its full breadth and to actively shape the future of the department together with your colleagues.

Following the departure of a colleague, our neurology department consists of four driven neurologists. The formation of 4.35 FTE is currently partially supported by locum coverage. We have the ambition to grow to a formation of six neurologists, so that everyone can benefit from a healthy work-life balance, more mutual support, and space to specialize. This is a wonderful opportunity to help build a collegial, entrepreneurial, and future-proof team.

Together with you, we focus on excellent basic care across the full breadth of neurology, including 24/7 CVA care, Parkinson's, MS, and botulinum toxin clinics. Each neurologist has their own areas of interest and can contribute to the further development of the department with great autonomy. For example, we have established several multidisciplinary clinics, such as a dizziness clinic, headache clinic, and syncope clinic, which are also used regionally.

The department is supported by 4 specialist nurses and a permanent team of neurology residents on the joint neurology-cardiology ward. We participate in the training of medical students from Utrecht University. The KNF department is well-equipped with recently renewed equipment (EMG, EEG, EP, VNG, PSG, tilt table tests, and nerve ultrasound) and enthusiastic technicians who are also training an apprentice.

The Beatrix Hospital offers a compact, close-knit team and short lines of communication between specialists, nurses, and support staff. Person-centered care is central, according to Qmentum standards and the Planetree concept.

We work closely with general practitioners in the region to ensure smooth patient care. Additionally, there is intensive collaboration with the Albert Schweitzer hospital in Dordrecht in areas such as IAT treatments, carotid, and hernia surgery. New projects are continuously explored in an atmosphere of collaboration and innovation.

Due to the departure of a colleague and with a view to the future of our department, we are looking for two new colleagues. Both (nearly) newly qualified and experienced neurologists are welcome. You have good communication and social skills, place the patient at the center, and provide person-centered care. Interest and/or experience in a specific area of interest is welcome.

• A workplace in a future-oriented hospital with ambitions;
• An interesting patient population with challenging pathology;
• A pleasant intercollegiate atmosphere;
• Short lines of communication with other medical specialists and general practitioners.

The neurology department is part of the Coöperatie Medisch Specialistisch Bedrijf Matrix U.A. (MSB). As a staff member, you will become a member of the MSB after an introductory period of 6 months. Admission to the MSB takes place in accordance with the rules of the MSB, based on an income-sharing arrangement. Additionally, you will become a member of the Medical Staff Association.
