We are looking for two Physician Associates to join our Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics at Bristol Royal Infirmary.

The successful applicants will provide ward-based care within our Silver Trauma team under the clinical supervision of an Orthogeriatric Consultant.

They will be responsible for providing care to elderly trauma and fragility fracture patients on the Silver Trauma Unit, with potential to progress to additional support within the Bone Health for Older People (BHOP) Clinic and departmental Quality Improvement Projects (QIPs).
