Locum Consultant in Geriatric Medicine

We are looking to appoint an experience Locum Consultant in Geriatrics to join our Frailty team for a fixed period of 6 months (until April 2027).

We are proud to have an excellent acute frailty service and we have an enthusiastic and dynamic team of Consultants and Associate Specialists working closely together to deliver our overarching Frailty Strategy, aiming to improve the care of all patients living with frailty in Guildford and Waverley.

We are continuing to work to provide seamless care for our patients. For those with emerging or stable frailty we aim to provide standardised proactive Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and for those with frailty crisis, an effective alternative to admission including Urgent Crisis Response (UCR), Frailty Same Day Emergency Care (FSDEC) and Hospital at Home (H@H) / virtual wards.

We have established the Guildford and Waverley Frailty Academy which has embedded education and training across the local system and within the acute Trust. We have developed internal trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner and Portfolio route training programmes (formerly CESR route) to support workforce development.

We are looking to innovate with local partners in delivery of a local strategy to develop our workforce and make it fit to meet the needs of our ageing population.
