Consultant Geriatrician

The Department of Healthcare for Older People provides a comprehensive service for older patients both in hospital and in community settings and leads on the care of older people at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. We are committed and passionate about older patients living with frailty.
At Birmingham Heartlands Hospital our speciality has grown substantially in recent years due to development of one of the largest fractured neck of femur service in Europe, a comprehensive Older Person Assessment and Liaison (OPAL) service providing vital front door care and Frailty Same Day Emergency Care -FSDEC service. The speciality wishes to recruit additional and dynamic Consultant Geriatricians at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital to support our exciting and forward-thinking team. We welcome and can accommodate any subspecialty interest, though we particularly wish to recruit consultants with interest in peri-operative geriatrics (Orthogeriatric and surgical liaison), movement disorders and acute geriatrics.
Heartlands Hospital are committed to supporting staff wellbeing, so although the posts are 10 programmed activities, working less than full time can be accommodated.
Job plan: PAs for direct patient care and SPAs to support revalidation activities including CPD and educational supervision/teaching. Must possess MRCP or equivalent, be on the Specialist Register in Geriatric and General Medicine or within 6 months of CCT in Geriatric and General Medicine. Applicants must be entered onto the GMC register.
