A Vacancy at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust.
This appointment to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Kings Lynn NHS Foundation Trust is an important part of its strategy to remain a preferred provider to Local Health Authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups across a wide range of hospital services.
This new appointment is part of a plan to improve outcomes for our elderly trauma patients. The successful candidate will work in partnership with a forward looking and enthusiastic Orthopaedic department to deliver comprehensive care to our elderly trauma patients throughout their hospital pathway.
The role will include pre-operative assessment, liaison with anaesthetic staff, resuscitation, post-operative care and rehabilitation to be delivered as part of the Orthopaedic Service. There will be no commitment to the general medical on-call rota. The appointee will join our current Ortho-geriatric Consultant. This post will be supported by the Trauma Nurse Specialist as well as other orthopaedic middle grades and foundation doctors. There will be opportunities for flexible working; this can be discussed at interview.
The successful applicant will be expected to:
• Deliver quality Ortho-geriatric and medical services in the most effective way, regularly benchmarking service to improve practice.
• Support the organisational aim of QEHKL, making a positive contribution to the management and financial strategies.
• Work to strengthen links with GP’s and neighbouring Trusts.
• Continue to enhance and develop Ortho-Geriatric service.
• Meet NHFD target for delivering best practice care in Fractured Neck of Femur patients.
• Initiate and take part in regular clinical audit.
• Have an active role in research
There’s never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We’re working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.
We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
