Job summary
Overview of the Senior Clinical Fellow role in Geriatrics & Rehabilitation
The over-riding purpose is to support the provision of the highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement and by working closely with the broader Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT).
This post will be based on the acute geriatric wards based at Kings Mill Hospital and the geriatric non-acute/rehabilitation wards at Mansfield Community Hospital.
Mansfield Community Hospital has 3 Geriatric Wards (Oakham Ward, Lindhurst Ward, Chatsworth Ward).
Each of these wards is staffed by one middle grade doctor/ACP working with the members of the MDT
and supported by a consultant who provides 2 sessions per week to the ward.
These wards are for frail, elderly patients who have been transferred from acute medical wards at
Kings Mill Hospital but who are medically fit and who may require a period of rehabilitation before being
discharged to their place of residence.
There are excellent educational opportunities, both formal (weekly medical Grand Round, weekly Geriatric Department educational meeting) and informal. There are also opportunities for audit and QIP projects whilst working at the hospital.
