Job summary
We are looking for versatile, enthusiastic individual to join our Consultant Geriatrician team based at Lymington Hospital.
This is an exciting time in for the Trust as we are on a journey to bring together all NHS community and mental health services provided in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, including services provided by Solent NHS Trust, Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, that delivers Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services CAMHS in Hampshire, in what we call project Fusion.
Main duties of the job
This is an ideal post for a geriatrician who enjoys being hands on and working closely with colleagues in primary, secondary and intermediate care. There are opportunities to get involved in admission prevention, virtual wards, proactive community services for older people living with frailty, advance care planning and end of life care.
The environment within the hospital is ideal for older patients who need high quality medical and nursing care but not intensive medical intervention or referral to more specialist services. A particular strength is end of life care.

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
