We are recruiting for an Orthogeriatric Specialty Doctor who shares our ambition and vision to deliver the Best of Care by the Best People and has the drive to take us forward, ensuring that the Trust continues to be the first choice for patients and staff.
We are looking to recruit a dynamic Specialty Doctor to work alongside our Orthogeriatric team in Trauma and Orthopaedics at Medway NHS Foundation Trust. The Orthogeriatric team provides comprehensive care for all hip fracture and NAFF patients.

The Orthogeriatric team includes one Consultant and four junior doctors, supported by 14 Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons, 5 specialist trainees, and 7 SAS doctors. Currently, we have two full-time trauma coordinators.
We actively support doctors progressing through the Portfolio pathway to obtain specialist registration and a full-time substantive orthogeriatric consultant role.
