Blackpool Teaching Hospitals are looking for experienced doctors looking to join as a registrar in elderly medicine. Elderly medicine is the biggest specialty of medicine in the UK, and it is perfect for doctors with a background in geriatric or general medicine. Coming in as a elderly medicine registrar in the NHS allows you continue to progress in your career. This is the best way for doctors to begin their specialization into geriatric medicine, and to get exposure into the different sub-specialties in general medicine.

• Participate in the on-call rota as required.
• Contribute to multidisciplinary meetings, alongside consultants, specialists, and nurses.

The elderly care department in Blackpool Teaching Hospitals is staffed with highly experienced consultants and specialists, which will be able to support you.
