Consultant Ortho-Geriatrician

We have a new opportunity for a Consultant Ortho-Geriatrician to join our Orthopaedic team at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The successful candidate will provide joint peri- and post-operative care for frail trauma patients admitted under the Trauma team.

We currently review and manage all patients admitted with femoral fractures, over the age of 60, throughout their admission, offering a consultant review three times a week. We also offer a comprehensive frailty service, reviewing all admitted patients (under the Orthopaedic team) with either a fragility fracture or a frailty score of>=5. We provide bone health follow-up clinic for our patients and if there is interest in expanding our out-patient support following discharge this is something we could explore.

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is committed to being an inclusive and disability confident employer and has been awarded the Gold for the Armed Forces Employment Recognition Scheme. We provide first class development opportunities for all staff and have a wide range of professional, management and leadership, and clinical skills training available. Here at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, we know how important it is to have a healthy work life balance; this benefits not only individuals but the patients we care for too. We encourage applications from people who wish to work on a flexible basis, recognising that flexibility may mean a range of different working patterns and hours, we do our utmost to work with our staff to meet their needs and the needs of our service and its users.
