Job description
One post will have particular focus on supporting our Acute Frailty service in EAU. This gives the opportunity to lead our dedicated multi-disciplinary team and develop the service through continuous quality improvement cycles and data collection. In addition, there are opportunities for working closely with community teams, the COTE virtual ward and the wider medical staff based on EAU. A further post gives the opportunity to spend multiple days leading the Care of Elderly Virtual Ward. This includes assessment and management of patients both in the hospital and with visits out into the community. Work will be alongside a dedicated MDT in a service we hope to expand and develop to increase patient capacity over the coming years. The successful candidate will be expected to take a role in service development and evaluation, as well clinical support. Our third post provides the opportunity for a Consultant Geriatrician with a specialist interest in Falls and Syncope and/or Osteoporosis to expand our outpatient services in these areas. Our Falls and Syncope service is led by multiple Consultant Geriatrician outpatient clinics. These clinics are supported by dedicated Falls Specialist Nurses and Tilt-Table equipment on site. In addition, the Falls Specialist Nurses provide assessment of patients in the community and feedback into a weekly MDT. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to expand the current service through their own specialist area of interest. Our Osteoporosis service is also a multi-disciplinary team service led by Consultant Geriatrician and Specialist Nurses. DEXA scanning services are available on site. The service operates multiple weekly outpatient clinics and takes bone health referrals from around the region. A successful candidate would be able to expand the existing service and lead in its future development.
