Job description

Job responsibilities

Currently the plan is to share time on the one of the acute Elderly Care wards with an opportunity to be involved in another specialty area of interest, which we are more than happy to discuss depending on the candidate. We have interests and opportunities for development in stroke, orthogeriatrics, surgical liaison, movement disorders, acute frailty and education. Please talk to us about what interests you. We would anticipate the various commitments evolving and SPAs likely increasing in time with shared job plan review facilitating that personal development. Within the team, use of SPAs reflects personal interests so one focuses on research while others take greater roles in audit or education.
