Advanced Clinical Practitioner: Geriatric Medicine

3 weeks ago


Leicester, United Kingdom University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust Full time

This role is an exciting new post developed to strengthen the senior clinical workforce within Geriatric Medicine. We are looking for an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and experienced practitioner qualified to Masters level, with a passion for exemplary standards of practice and clear understanding of the medical, social and psychological complexities of frail older people. They will autonomously assess non-elective frail older patients including initial history taking, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of care. They will demonstrate safe, senior decision making and expert care, for patients providing appropriate clinical management plans and prescription of any medication required

They will initially work on the Geriatric base wards, under the supervision of a Geriatric Consultant. However there will be an opportunity to work within the acute frailty services at the front door.

We are one of the biggest and busiest NHS trusts in the country, incorporating the General, Glenfield and Royal Infirmary hospitals. We have our very own Children’s Hospital and run one of the country’s leading heart centres.

Our team is made up of more than 17,000 staff providing a range of services primarily for the one million residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

We work with partners at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.

Our purpose is to provide ‘Caring at its best’ and our staff have helped us create a set of values that embody who we are and what we’re here to do. They are:

- We focus on what matters most
- We treat others how we would like to be treated
- We are passionate and creative in our work
- We do what we say we are going to do
- We are one team and we are best when we work together

Our patients are at the heart of all we do and we believe that ‘Caring at its best’ is not just about the treatments and services we provide, but about giving our patients the best possible experience.
