1x Fixed Term Locum Consultant post in Perioperative Medicine for Older People undergoing Surgery (POPS), Geriatrics and General Medicine
Part-Time – 8PAs + on-call rota supplement
Fixed term – 12 months
The Department of Ageing and Health at GSTT is seeking to recruit a fixed term locum consultant to join our dynamic, enthusiastic and award winning Perioperative medicine for Older People undergoing Surgery (POPS) team.
This post is a result of an expansion of the POPS service into all surgical subspecialties at GSTT to provide quality care to all older people undergoing elective and emergency surgery at GSTT. The post will be covering maternity leave within the team.
The post holders will either contribute to an elderly medicine on call rota which includes on site weekend working in our Acute Older Persons Unit in the Emergency floor, or to the Acute General Medicine rota which includes on-site weekend and evening working.
You must be fully registered with the GMC and hold Licence to Practice and be on the Specialist Register, or within six months of attaining your CCT in General Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine or equivalent at interview stage.
Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is made up of four of London’s best known teaching hospitals and employs over 13,650 staff and has over 2 million patient contacts a year. Our annual turnover is now £1.3 billion.
Join us and become part of the most engaged workforce of any NHS trust in England, according to the latest national NHS Staff Survey results – for the second year running. You will be joining a dynamic and forward-looking organisation in the heart of the capital where you can develop your career and broaden your horizons.
We think you will enjoy working for us but you don’t have to take our word for it – 79% of staff who took part in the latest national NHS Staff Survey would recommend Guy’s and St Thomas’ as a place to work.
The Department of Ageing and Health is seeking to recruit 1 fixed term locum consultant to join the enthusiastic and internationally regarded Perioperative medicine for Older People undergoing Surgery (POPS) team. This opening has arisen due to maternity leave within the team but further opportunities may arise due to expansion of POPS services into all surgical subspecialties and in relation to an increased footprint in bone health and hip fracture care.
The multidisciplinary POPS team provide preoperative assessment and optimisation for high risk older patients undergoing elective and emergency surgery, and follow the patient through the surgical admission, coordinating and delivering medical care, rehabilitation and discharge planning. The team is fully embedded at GSTT, with established pathways of care, close collaboration with anaesthetic and surgical departments and has a local, national and international reputation for providing quality care to complex, older surgical patients. The team provides formalised training programmes in perioperative medicine for foundation year doctors (FY1 and 2), specialist registrars and allied health professionals.
The successful candidates are not expected to have received formal subspecialty training in perioperative medicine for older people. Insteadthe successful candidates will be expected to be intellectually flexible and be able to look beyond existing structures, ways of working and traditional care boundaries in order to produce effective and innovative service delivery. The post holders will actively participate in working with the team to shape the future service. The post-holders will be expected to take an active role in quality improvement programmes, to participate in undergraduate and postgraduate interdisciplinary teachingand will have the opportunity to be involved in an established research programme.
The successful candidates will work within the wider Department of Ageing and Health at GSTT, staffed by 26 consultants, with various subspecialty interests. The unit has a strong reputation for innovative service delivery, training in geriatric medicine and research.All consultants in the department are expected to share equally in out-of-hours rotas (either the acute GIM emergency floor rota or the acute frailty rota). The successful candidate may be able to pursue other subspecialty interests in addition to these bespoke POPS roles upon local negotiation.
As an organisation, we are committed to developing our services in ways that best suit the needs of our patients. This includes asking certain groups of staff to work more flexibly so that we can offer services to patients in the evenings and at weekends. We regard this flexibility as essential if we are to continue to provide first class patient care in the future. As a result, any offer of employment to a consultant post will be subject to you agreeing to work a new more flexible pattern of working in the future if required and in accordance with the provisions of the new Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust consultant contract.
*** Please be advised that this vacancy may close early should we receive a sufficient number of applications ***
