Offer description

Applications are invited for this Specialist Doctor post in the Care of the Elderly Department in NHS Highland based within Inverness. This post will have a special interest in Orthogeriatrics.

Raigmore Hospital is the principal acute hospital of NHS Highland, which has a catchment area of 12,500 square miles and a population of around 320,000.

On successful appointment into this post you will be welcomed into our team of friendly and enthusiastic clinicians at Raigmore Hospital. We are striving towards the development of an enhanced innovative service to meet the needs of the local population of older adults within the expansive area that is covered by NHS Highland.

The department manages 44 care of the elderly assessment beds and provides daily orthogeriatric input into a 32 bedded trauma orthopaedic ward. The post holder will take a leading role in the care of older adults presenting with hip fractures to Raigmore Hospital. Raigmore admits approximately 400 hip fractures a year to a busy trauma orthopaedic ward. The department offers a five day a week service to this ward and is central to the safe and efficient running of this service.

This post also contains time for teaching the many medical students who rotate through Raigmore Hospital. Involvement in service development is also encouraged.

Many staff, work and live here because of the unrivalled access to outdoor activities: on-piste or backcountry skiing, rock climbing, munroing, summer/winter mountaineering, or trekking in the numerous magnificent glens come as standard perks of the post. Amazing beaches are both close by and further afield and it is easy to find a beach to yourself even in the peak of summer. Join the many staff comparing their cycle routes on Strava, enjoying the wildscapes whilst wild swimming or improve your game on the fantastic local golf courses. Watersports and fishing possibilities are endless, from river kayaking to open seas and countless lochs. Loch Ness itself lies 10 miles away. Inverness is a compact city with many lovely nearby villages in which to live. There are good schools, many with wrap around childcare, which have an excellent reputation and a University campus next to the hospital.

There is a warm, welcoming environment in Highland – we would be delighted for you to come and join us.

Informal enquiries will be welcomed by Dr Andrew Jamieson – Consultant in Geriatric Medicine,
