- Department of Medicine for Older People (Elderly Medicine)

The successful candidate will be joining a well organised department providing a wide range of services at specialty and sub-specialty level. We work together collaboratively and supportively, and we are always looking to improve the care for patients across the organisation.

### Main duties of the job

There is also the opportunity to attend lunchtime lectures, specialty clinics and several sub-specialty multi-disciplinary team meetings. These posts are identical in the clinical supervision, educational supervision and in-house educational programme opportunities given to our training grade medical posts at junior grade level.

Applicants must be a fully registered medical practitioner and hold a current GMC license to practice and be eligible to work in the UK.  They must have a minimum of two years post-graduate medical experience with either current employment in a UKFPO - affiliated Foundation programme or 12 months experience post full GMC registration and evidence of achievement of foundation competencies including full MRCP membership.  A current Advanced Life Support Certificate is essential.  Please refer to the person specification for further details.
