“What's special about this role for me is the immense variety: one moment you're coordinating with outpatient assistants and clinical neurophysiology technicians, the next with neurologists and neurosurgeons. Despite managing different teams, we truly form one department, with open communication and genuine attention for each other. You also have ample opportunity to work collaboratively on smart solutions for capacity issues and projects like digitalization, always with the same goal in mind: maintaining and continuously improving the high quality of our care.” - Merel, team leader of the neurology and clinical neurophysiology outpatient clinic.

Jouw Afdeling

In the neurology outpatient clinic, we see patients with a wide range of conditions, from strokes, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis to dementia, dizziness, and headaches. Many patients have chronic conditions and return regularly, making continuity and personal attention vital in our care. In clinical neurophysiology, we conduct nearly all clinical neurophysiological examinations, including EEG, EMG, neuro duplex, nerve ultrasound, and tilt table tests, as well as botulinum treatments. The combination of diverse disease profiles, examinations, and treatments creates a dynamic work environment that is constantly evolving. The atmosphere within the teams is open, personal, and collegial, with short lines of communication. Hard work is balanced with humor, camaraderie, and joint activities, ensuring that new colleagues receive a warm welcome.
