We are looking for a hardworking, motivated and innovative Consultant colleague to further develop and expand the existing Orthogeriatric service at our Royal Preston Hospital site.


The development and expansion of the Elderly Medicine and Trauma services at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals is very high on the Trust's agenda.

We have a dedicated multidisciplinary team with 6 day therapy input and a plan for providing 7-day therapy cover.

Our hospital has shown consistent improvement and reduction in mortality and length of stay as evident on National Hip Fracture Database.

This post will be permanent and can be flexible i.e. full time or part time.

You will:

  • Provide direct input to patients admitted under the fractured femur pathway, assuming a continuous commitment for the care of ward inpatients on a sharedcare basis with the orthopaedic team, even if employed less than fulltime, ensuring adequate arrangements are made for leave and offduty periods
  • Improve preoperative optimisation, lead the perioperative medical management of fracturedfemur patients and to coordinate the subsequent rehabilitation process.
  • Deliver care alongside the existing orthogeriatrics team to develop the orthogeriatrics service, ensuring our elderly trauma patients receive the best possible treatment in order to optimise patient outcome.
  • Provide oversite and clinical supervision for junior doctors attached to your team and a highly experience nurse Consultant.
  • Participate in the General (Internal) Medicine oncall rota, or, contribute towards Elderly Medicine 7day departmental working.


Our department offers you the opportunity to develop pioneering services with the full support of the existing consultant body and Trust board.

We believe the job plan provides flexibility for you to develop this new service as you see fit within departmental and Trust objectives.

We will offer any newly appointed consultant the opportunity of mentorship, provided by the existing consultant geriatricians. You will be encouraged to join our highly-rated consultant leadership and management training programme.

The orthopaedic department has 58 trauma beds on two wards alongside a 10 bedded Major Trauma Unit.


We treat around 460 hip fracture patients per year, other femoral fracture (distal and shaft) patients and 40-50 peri-prosthetic femur fracture patients.

At any one time there are 18 to 30 femoral fracture inpatients under our care.


Our current orthogeriatric team consists of a locum orthogeriatric Consultant, an orthogeriatric Nurse Consultant, an orthogeriatric middle grade and foundation year 2 trainee.

We have a dedicated multidisciplinary team with 6-day therapy input and a plan for providing 7-day therapy cover.

Our hospital has shown consistent improvement and reduction in mortality and length of stay as evident on National Hip Fracture Database.


We are continuously improving and are working towards a 24 hour target to theatre from admission for patients with femoral fractures.

Our aim is to optimise achievement of best practice tariff providing high quality and safe care.

Our Trust is also a Major Trauma Centre.

It is anticipated that you will work alongside the geriatricians who are already involved in providing care for patients admitted under the Major Trauma pathway, though this role will have no responsibility for these patients.
