A Vacancy at Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust.
This is an amazing opportunity to join our department. The successful candidate will be supporting inpatient services; but, as we undergo an exciting period of service development, we will be encouraging and willing to support within job planning any sub-specialist interests that the successful candidate may have, and we are happy to explore any innovative ways of working that might have a positive impact on our staff well-being and satisfaction.
We are looking an Elderly Care Consultant to join our team. We welcome dynamic, enthusiastic candidates who are passionate about providing great medical care to our elderly population and are keen to be involved in innovative service development and quality improvement within an outstanding organisation. We welcome applications from candidates who seek flexible, part time and full time posts, as well as candidates who are looking for a fixed term or substantive positions.
KHFT has a much higher proportion of very elderly patients within
emergency admissions compared with the London (and England) average and expansion of the elderly care department reflects the large number of elderly people being cared for in our hospital. All our Care of the Elderly wards and several other areas in the hospital have been refurbished to a high standard to create a dementia friendly environment. There is a dynamic Frailty Team working in the Emergency Department and we will be shortly opening a Frailty Same Day Emergency Care.
