Job overview

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.

Main duties of the job

Working for our organisation

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
