Locum Consultant Physician/Geriatrician in Older People Services
4 weeks ago
Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a locum Consultant Physician/Geriatrician in Older People Services. We welcome applicants with established geriatric experience but would consider those with general medical qualifications and some experience and passion for geriatric medicine. This is a fixed term position while we recruit substantively and is to support a small team trying to re-establish service development during the pandemic. This job is aimed at someone interested in applying for a substantive post at the Royal London Hospital but we would also welcome any individual who is keen to step up to consultant level whilst awaiting a substantive post elsewhere.
The posts offer an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and welcoming consultant team, with ample support provided to new consultants and those with less geriatric experience.
Main duties of the job
These posts will be based at Royal London Hospital where we have a 52 bedded acute geriatrics ward. The successful candidate would be expected to manage a proportion of these patients independently, play an active role in the multi-disciplinary team and be part of the discharge planning process. There are opportunities to get involved in outpatient work, liaison work and the front door frailty pathways depending on interest and expertise. We welcome requests for flexible or less than full time working especially if this enables other speciality or academic working. You require full registration with the General Medical Council with the licence to practice and an established career and training pathway within the NHS is essential.
Working for our organisation
The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.
Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate, and support an inclusive working environment where staff treat one another with dignity and respect. We aim to create an equitable working environment where every individual can fulfil their potential.
Barts Health supports The Pregnancy Loss Pledge and commits to supporting their staff through the distress of miscarriage.
