Consultant in Older Persons Medicine and Frailty

New consultant posts have arisen within medicine for older people in Wexham Park as a result of a complete reconfiguration of the service.
In line with the local priorities of the ICS services for older adults are to be transformed, encouraging innovative ways of working to remove boundaries between community providers and the acute Trust.
For those patients who cannot be managed in the community we aim to provide excellent clinical care in an environment specifically designed to be in line with the needs of older adults, particularly those with dementia.
We have a newly refurbished older people's unit specifically for the needs of older adults and those with dementia.
Main duties of the job
We need enthusiastic individuals who can work alongside our existing consultants to further develop our Acute Frailty Service and to bring individual special interests to build on our current services.
These posts would particularly suit those looking to work within an organisation that is leading the way in the delivery of genuinely integrated care.
