NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) are undertaking a major, multi-year transformation programme entitled “Reform 25: Transforming Together”. This programme focuses on shifting the balance of care, allowing more patients to be treated at home, reducing lengths of stay, and decreasing delayed discharges. This includes the development of a Flow Navigation Centre (FNC+), virtual hospital beds and digital tools lead by a new interface division.

This is a new post and we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Consultant in Geriatric Medicine to join our team at the GRI as we play a key role in the implementation of the Reform 25 strategy, working with colleagues across GGC to deliver a whole system re-design of frailty services.

We are looking for a motivated and dedicated person to work as part of our acute, front door frailty and community teams to help build and develop these services.
