1 week ago

WestonsuperMare, United Kingdom University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join UHBW as a Consultant in Care of the Elderly. We are committed to improving the way that Weston works - do you want to be a part of the change?

This position will be mainly based at Weston General Hospital which accommodates 252 inpatient beds, an Ambulatory Care Centre and a busy Emergency Department with an award winning embedded Geriatric Emergency Medical Service (GEMS).

We are seeking an enthusiastic Physician to continue the developments within Care of the Elderly to support the Trust in improving how it handles patients arriving for potential admission with the aim of delivering timely safe care as well as increasing the numbers of early discharges. This post holder will be part of the team that supports frailty admissions pathways, including care of medical patients.

What’s in it for you?

Apart from getting work within a talented team in a beautiful part of the country:

- Potential to develop in subspecialty interests
- Relocation support
- Recruitment and Retention Premium up to £15k negotiable
- Work in a state-of-the-art recently refurbished facility
- Cross-site working Weston/Bristol - specific plan to be agreed
- Additional PAs negotiable

Applicants must be on the GMC Specialist Register or within 6 months of their CCT.

The appointee will be responsible for the development of Care of the Elderly services along with their colleagues. The key objectives are to reduce number of unnecessary admissions, develop same day emergency care pathways for the frail elderly, reduce patient length stay and work with system partners to ensure safe discharge to appropriate places of residence. There will be a strong commitment to teaching Junior Staff the principles of management of elderly patients, this will occur as the opportunity arises on a day to day basis with acute patients, as well as dedicated teaching.

Weston General Hospital is embarking on a major transformation with the implementation of the Healthy Weston 2 programme which involves the development of safe, high-quality and sustainable emergency and planned care accessible to the local people.

This is a really exciting time to join the Weston team, you will have the opportunity to develop and grow, personally and professionally, and use your passion to positively shape the future of health and care services within the local communities. Based at a small dynamic hospital in the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, and only a stones-throw from its two-mile long sandy beach, you will also benefit from being part of a large specialist NHS teaching trust with sites across Bristol and North Somerset.

At Weston there are 3 WTE Care of the Elderly and Stroke physicians, and on the Bristol Royal Infirmary and South Bristol Community Hospital sites 8.4 WTE. At Weston there is a well-developed front door Geriatric Emergency Medicine Service lead by an Associate Specialist, with Advanced Physiotherapy, nursing and pharmacy input concentrating on admissions avoidance.

The appointment of this position will be part of the 1:11 current consultant on call rota.

The main site for this post at present is Weston General Hospital but as we move to full clinical service integration across UHBW it is anticipated that consultants will have some element of cross-site working to be determined through the job planning process.
