Senior Clinical Fellow in Geriatrics

The closing date is 24 December 2025

Overview of the Senior Clinical Fellow role in Geriatrics & Rehabilitation

The overriding 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.
