Job overview
We are looking for someone to join our friendly, supportive geriatric team and to work with the vascular surgery team to develop the care of patients living with frailty admitted under vascular surgery. This is a hybrid position encompassing both day‐to‐day care of patients living with frailty within the Department of Medicine for Older People and Stroke as well as working within the Vascular Surgery Department. You will be working with a vascular geriatrician colleague who has a mirror‐image hybrid job description.
Main duties of the job
We are excited to offer this unique and pioneering opportunity for a Consultant Geriatrician to join our dynamic Vascular Surgery Department. This role, one of the first of its kind in the UK, is modelled on the successful orthogeriatric approach but offers an even more collaborative and integrated working environment. The post holder will be a key member of the team involved in shared decision‐making and managing complex medical issues in vascular patients alongside the multidisciplinary team including vascular surgeons, anaesthetists, resident doctors, therapists and specialist nurses across the entire patient journey. This will include dedicated office space alongside the vascular clinical team, working within formalised MDT meetings, involvement in morbidity and mortality meetings and governance structures.
