This vacancy may close once sufficient applications have been received. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Specialist registrar to join a dynamic team in Older People's Medicine based at The James Cook University Hospital. It is advertised on a whole time basis, although any candidate who is unable to work full time will be eligible to apply and, if appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed in consultation with the Clinical Directors. The department provides Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in several different settings: Outpatient - General Practitioner referrals to outpatients in an OPD or in community hospitals. Acute Medical - Acute admissions to the Older Person's Medicine ward specifically for older persons triaged from the Acute Assessment Unit. Community Hospitals - Consultant led assessment, rehabilitation and supportive / palliative care in facilities closer to the patients' homes, in a less busy and more homely setting. Liaison Services- We provide an orthogeriatric, older people's trauma and surgical liaison service. This is in addition to reviewing referrals that we receive from other medical and surgical wards for medical input or review with a view to rehabilitation in the community hospitals. The department provides acute medicine for the Older Person in two acute 28 bedded wards. As a registrar part of the team, you may review new patient's presenting to the ward or carry out ward rounds with junior doctors and nurse practitioners. The acute service is well supported by two local community hospitals and residential intermediate care facilities. There is a strong identity in the local community with these hospitals. There are consultant sessions in both of these hospitals. Such facilities with consultant input means that intermediate care can be delivered with confidence of being equivalent to the best comprehensive geriatric assessment models which are of proven benefit. It is envisaged that early transfer to these facilities for those who cannot go home early will be of clinical benefit and the shorter length of stay to allow efficient use of resources and improve throughput of the elective programme which is under great pressure. Our department has also developed a number of liaison services. As a registrar in the department, you may review patients as part of the orthogeriatric, trauma or surgical liaison service. We provide daily consultant input to our orthogeriatric service alongside the orthopaedic nurse practitioners and orthogeriatric specialist doctor. Our trauma service takes place three times a week and surgical liaison service twice a week. "}
