We are looking for versatile, enthusiastic individual to join our Consultant Geriatrician team based at Lymington Hospital.
This is an exciting time in for the Trust as we are on a journey to bring together all NHS community and mental health services provided in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, including services provided by Solent NHS Trust, Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, that delivers Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services CAMHS in Hampshire, in what we call project Fusion.
