The post is suited to either a doctor in their first registrar role or a more experienced clinician looking to broaden their geriatric medicine experience.
The candidate will work as a central member of the MDT in Acute Frailty Pathway predominantly in Acute Frailty Unit but providing Frailty inreach to ED and at times the opportunity for community working with sessions in intermediate care if desired.
