Job Opportunity: Consultant in Geriatric Medicine

NHS Scotland is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment, promoting equality and eliminating unlawful discrimination. Our goal is to create a workforce that is truly representative, allowing each employee to feel valued and empowered to contribute their best.

NHS Grampian

Fixed Term Consultant in Geriatric Medicine

We are seeking an enthusiastic and forward-thinking full-time, 6-month Fixed Term Consultant in Geriatric Medicine to develop and deliver high-quality care for older adults with frailty in NHS Grampian. The Grampian region offers a unique blend of urban and rural living, providing opportunities for an excellent quality of life. Aberdeen combines the amenities of a large city with easy access to stunning natural surroundings and a range of outdoor activities.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a community-facing service focused on 'home first' principles. Our team provides early Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment on a 25-bedded Geriatric Assessment Unit in the Emergency Care Centre of Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Our unit has been recognized nationally for its performance in the Scottish Care of Older People (SCoOP) Acute Hospital Outcomes report.

We are developing new areas of working, and we welcome candidates with special interests who will be accommodated and supported as much as possible.

We are looking to expand our team to further develop our well-established community services. We have longstanding relationships between GP practices and Community Hospitals using a linked-geriatrician alignment model in Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire. We have an established Hospital at Home service, which has been Consultant-led since March 2021.

This Consultant role offers the potential to be tailored to individual skills and interests, but key areas of work will include:

  • Early Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment on our 25-bedded Geriatric Assessment Unit, working as part of a highly functioning multidisciplinary team.
  • 1 in 12 weekday and weekend on-call.
  • Additional area(s) of special interest, including Community Geriatrics, Hospital at Home, Orthogeriatrics, Surgical & Medical Liaison, Rehabilitation, and Parkinson's disease.

We have a strong culture of education, research, quality improvement, and service design within the department. The successful post holder will have ample non-clinical time in the job plan to support delivery against these ambitions. We have strong links with the University of Aberdeen and an active research team led by Clinical Chair in Medicine of Old Age.

We welcome applicants from those wishing to work flexibly or less than full-time. We are committed to endorsing a diverse and inclusive team.

Full registration with a licence to practise with the GMC is required. For more information, visit www.gmc-uk.org.

Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry on the GMC Specialist Register from date of interview. Alternatively, applicants should possess a CESR / CESR (CP).

Interested candidates can contact Dr Sarah Alder, Medical Lead, Department of Medicine for the Elderly, or Julie Warrender, Chief Nurse and Lead for Frailty.
