The day-to-day activities will include performing or supervising reporting of EEG and video-telemetry, supporting clinical meetings and case discussions, and conducting EMG or other specialty clinics. The post-holders will also be responsible for supervising and guiding registrar and physiologists within the Neurophysiology department.
