For a full breakdown on each ward please see Job Description.
Main duties of the job
Medical assessment and rehabilitation are the core services provided by the Medicine for the Older Persons team. Rapid multidisciplinary assessment and intervention is performed on our new Acute Frailty Unit (AFU) (Durrington ward - 24 bed short stay elderly care ward with direct streaming from the Medical Assessment Unit), with Spire (30 beds) and Imber (24 beds) wards, acting as acute downstream wards focused on acute care and rehabilitation. Spire ward includes therapeutic areas including a "Memory Caf" as well as an enclosed garden area, as well as providing care for patients with infectious diseases due to its many side rooms.
The orthogeriatric service has been established since 2011 to provide pro-active care to all hip fracture patients and those elective and trauma patients aged 75 and older. The orthogeriatric service has consistently performed well in the National Hip Fracture Audit and Blue Book standards.
Outpatient opportunities exist in the Nunton Unit, where Rapid Access clinics, Parkinson's clinics, TIA and falls clinics and general Elderly clinics are held.
It is our intention to create rotational posts between these clinical areas, with placement opportunities including Respiratory Medicine, Endocrinology and Cardiology, so that all Trust Grade doctors have an opportunity to experience this range of in-patient services. We support educational supervision of all our trainees and would be happy to encourage / support CESR training in post.
