Consultant in Older Persons Medicine and Frailty
New consultant posts have arisen within medicine for older people at Wexham Park due to a complete service reconfiguration.
In line with local priorities, the ICS services for older adults aim to be transformed by encouraging innovative working methods to bridge gaps between community providers and the acute Trust.
For patients unable to be managed in the community, we aim to deliver excellent clinical care in facilities specifically designed to meet the needs of older adults, particularly those with dementia.
We have a newly refurbished older people's unit dedicated to the needs of older adults and those with dementia.
Main duties of the job
We seek enthusiastic individuals to work alongside our existing consultants to further develop our Acute Frailty Service and to bring in personal special interests to enhance our current services.
This position is ideal for those interested in working within an organization leading the way in integrated care delivery.
