Glasgow, United Kingdom NHS Scotland Full time

**POST: CONSULTANT IN MEDICINE FOR THE ELDERLY**

**BASE**:QUEEN** **ELIZABETH** **UNIVERSITY** **HOSPITAL**, **GLASGOW***

This post will be based in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH), which opened in May of 2015. This is a replacement post.

This is an unrivalled opportunity to contribute to a fully redesigned Geriatric Medicine Service, including duties in a new hospital with a full range of support services, working with a large group of NHS colleagues in a very impressive modern facility.

The acute assessment work will be based in the QEUH. Our 30 bed wards are shared between 3 Consultants in total, ensuring strong leadership and robust cross-cover for periods of leave. Each Consultant will conduct 2 ward rounds each week with a multi-disciplinary team meeting (MDTM).

Acute receiving duties will involve 1 weekday per month consisting of a twice daily ward round of 16 acute admissions and overnight on-call. The weekend on-call rota is 1 in 9. Two Consultants are on-call in any weekend to cover both acute receiving and downstream wards. The Consultant who is 1st on-call on Friday and Saturday will be 2nd on-call on Sunday. The 1st on-call Consultant does the acute receiving and overnight on-call. The 2nd on-call Consultant reviews patients in the Langlands building and other downstream wards. There is no requirement to be resident when on-call overnight.

The post also includes general rehabilitation ward rounds and MDTM in Gartnavel General Hospital (or New Victoria Hospital), with additional time for relative discussions or liaison with junior medical staff. Each general rehabilitation ward is shared with one other Consultant.

The post will be supported by Specialty Doctors, STs, GPSTs, CMTs and foundation trainees. The service has excellent AHP support from staff specialising in Medicine for the Elderly. The acute receiving and liaison service is supported by a team of Elderly Care Assessment Nurses (ECANs).

All newly qualified Consultants are initially offered a minimum of 1 Core Supporting Professional Activity (SPA) which includes CPD, audit, clinical governance, appraisal, revalidation, job planning and management meetings. This will be reviewed within 6 months (or earlier if required) of appointment and revised upwards if additional responsibilities are agreed.
