Consultant in Healthcare for Older People and Stroke Medicine

Consultant in Healthcare for Older People and Stroke Medicine

We are looking for enthusiastic, innovative and flexible individuals to further develop these services. North Devon has a large and increasing elderly population in a largely rural area with varying socio-economic needs. As such there is the opportunity to pursue sub-specialties tailored to the interests of the successful applicant. There is scope for working within frailty, ortho-geriatrics, movement disorders, syncope, stroke, community and peri-operative medicine. A team of colleagues based in the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital provide twice weekly cover at NDDH. This allows us to give colleague support and contribute to the delivery of the front door frailty service. We are particularly proud of this as it allows us to collaborate and share ideas across both sites. It also makes this an ideal post for candidates whatever stage they are in their Consultant career allowing for a high degree of autonomy, but with colleagues present and available if needed. The Royal Devon is a Trust which encourages and supports innovation, diversity, digital development and research. Working Pattern: Full Time - 10 PAs Interview Date: TBC For further information please contact: Dan Smith, Senior Operations Manager - As an inclusive employer, the Royal Devon values diversity and is committed to creating a culture of inclusivity where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential.

We recognise the advantages of having a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve. Preference will be given to staff with Priority and 'At Risk' status including NHS At Risk staff throughout Devon. The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust reserves the right to close vacancy when sufficient applications have been received.
