Position Overview

The Department dedicated to the care of the elderly offers a holistic approach to managing older patients in both hospital and community environments. Our focus is on enhancing the quality of life for older individuals experiencing frailty.

At our facility, the geriatric specialty has expanded significantly, particularly with the establishment of a leading fractured neck of femur service in Europe, alongside a comprehensive Older Person Assessment and Liaison (OPAL) service that provides essential care at the point of entry and a Frailty Same Day Emergency Care (FSDEC) service. We are looking to welcome additional, motivated Senior Geriatric Consultants to join our innovative team. We are open to various subspecialty interests, with a particular emphasis on peri-operative geriatrics, movement disorders, and acute geriatric care.

  • Collaborate with a well-established team of geriatricians to enhance patient experiences during hospital stays.
  • Engage in service development initiatives aimed at creating an acute admissions assessment unit for frail older adults.
  • Participate in the OPAL service, which involves a multidisciplinary team providing Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) in the Emergency Department and medical assessment units.
  • Contribute to the development of community services linked to Intermediate Care centers and establish a rapid access clinic for early reviews of community-based patients to minimize hospital admissions.
  • Provide a liaison Orthogeriatric service, benefiting from a centralized fractured neck of femur service, one of the largest in Europe, to enhance orthogeriatric services.
  • Participate in multidisciplinary falls and osteoporosis clinics, with opportunities to develop additional specialized clinics if qualified.
  • Deliver same-day emergency care for patients over 70 through the Frailty SDEC service, ensuring timely specialist input and facilitating early discharge.
