Now is a really exciting time to Join our Team of forward-thinking Ageing and Complex medicine team at Wrightington Wigan and Leigh (WWL) NHS Foundation Trust, and make a real difference to our elderly patients in the Wigan Borough.
Here at WWL we put the patient at the heart of everything we do, as we strive to deliver and develop our modern and comprehensive Elderly Care service. We would love to hear from applicants who have already developed a sub-specialty interest within Elderly Care, and those who have not already done so would be encouraged to do so through in–house training/ attending relevant CPD activities. Opportunities are available across in-patient, out-patient and community services with support from the clinical director and divisional management team to build and develop your area of interest.
The Trust has excellent postgraduate and research facilities, supports study leave for CPD and aids with funding up to an agreed limit. WWL NHS Foundation Trust is an Associated Teaching Hospital of the Edge Hill University. We also provide training for two Specialist Registrars as part of the Northwest Training rotation which includes an integrated MSc. course in Elderly Care medicine.

To provide direct clinical care to older patients accessing hospital services, with a specialist interest in managing frailty related syndromes.
