Position Overview

The successful candidate will join our dedicated team, ensuring that the highest standards of care are delivered to patients, in line with the National Service Framework for Frailty and Geriatric Medicine, as well as relevant NICE guidelines.

We are looking for a leader in Frailty to enhance our emergency department and oversee our Frailty Assessment unit, collaborating with fellow consultants. This role aims to transition from age-specific services to a comprehensive acute frailty service. Additionally, there is a commitment to further develop an Acute Physician-led Acute Medical Unit (AMU) model, supported by specialty in-reach rotas. As part of this initiative, we plan to modify HCOOP referrals from an age-based criterion to one focused on frailty.

We are among the largest hospital trusts in England, operating three acute hospitals and community sites that serve a local population of approximately 700,000. We also deliver specialized services for Kent and Medway.

We are on an exciting path of transformation, with a new Medical School at the heart of our community, emphasizing research, clinical leadership, and creating a rewarding and welcoming environment for our staff.

Benefits

Our benefits package includes:

  • An additional £3,000 payment to thank you for your commitment to our Trust.
  • Up to 32 days of annual leave.
  • Active support for study, quality improvement, and patient safety initiatives as part of our 'We care' improvement journey, along with opportunities in medical education and research.
