Summary
New consultant posts have arisen within medicine for older people in Wexham Park as a result of a complete reconfiguration of the service.
In line with the local priorities of the ICS services for older adults are to be transformed, encouraging innovative ways of working to remove boundaries between community providers and the acute Trust.
For those patients who cannot be managed in the community we aim to provide excellent clinical care in an environment specifically designed to be in line with the needs of older adults, particularly those with dementia.
We have a newly refurbished older people’s unit specifically for the needs of older adults and those with dementia.
We need enthusiastic individuals who can work alongside our existing consultants to further develop our Acute Frailty Service and to bring individual special interests to build on our current services.
These posts would particularly suit those looking to work within an organisation that is leading the way in the delivery of genuinely integrated care.
Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is committed to being an inclusive and disability confident employer and has been awarded the Gold for the Armed Forces Employment Recognition Scheme. We provide first class development opportunities for all staff and have a wide range of professional, management and leadership, and clinical skills training available.
Here at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, we know how important it is to have a healthy work life balance; this benefits not only individuals but the patients we care for too.
We encourage applications from people who wish to work on a flexible basis, recognising that flexibility may mean a range of different working patterns and hours, we do our utmost to work with our staff to meet their needs and the needs of our service and its users.
