Locum 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.
Here at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital our speciality has grown substantially in recent years due to the 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 a 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 an interest in peri-operative geriatrics (Orthogeriatrics and surgical liaison), movement disorders and acute geriatrics. Further description of the specific services and areas for development are detailed below.
Heartlands Hospital are committed to supporting staff wellbeing, so although the posts are 10 programmed activities, working less than full time can be accommodated.
