Crynodeb
Geriatric Medicine is a dynamic department within the Medicine Division and has a strong focus on delivering high quality acute medical care of the frail older patient from admission through to discharge. The department oversees a bed base of around 200, approximating to a quarter of all trust inpatient capacity. These beds are located in an acute frailty admissions unit, short stay frailty ward, inpatient Complex Care wards and step-down transitional care facilities based on the Southmead site.
The department runs clinics in general geriatric medicine and falls, Parkinson’s disease and enhanced pre-operative medical assessment on the Southmead site. At our satellite Cossham centre, we run a rapid access assessment clinic to support admission avoidance.
We have a newly- energised research program, and recent track record of high-impact publications and research output.
The medical team consists of 17 substantive consultants and approximately 45 junior doctors at any one time, supported by multiple advanced nurse practitioners, physician associates and therapists. This wider team has increased its emergency zone presence during the COVID-19 pandemic by establishing an acute frailty admissions unit, but we continue to deliver downstream inpatient care to frail and complex patients through the pathway through to discharge.
The post would suit trainees in Geriatric Medicine.
A successful candidate will:
· Support allied health professionals in service delivery, for example with advance care planning or review of clinical symptoms
· Contribute to multi-disciplinary meetings and develop a deep understanding of MDT working
· Assist the development of integrated patient pathways
· Evaluate service development work (may include patient consent, data handling)
· Take part in research and quality improvement programmes
· Participate in clinical and other service activities with the object of ensuring a high standard of patient care
· Participate in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and training across disciplines and specialties
