Registrar in Geriatrics

As a registrar in Geriatric Medicine, you will be providing high-quality medical care to elderly patients.

This position is perfect for doctors with a background in geriatric or general medicine, who have a range of skills and experience in caring for older patients. 

Main Duties: 

• Provide care to inpatient and outpatient elderly patients.

The care of the elderly department also runs a wide range of outpatient clinics, focusing on falls, stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, and general elderly care. 

The location:

The hospitals in this Trust are based in a town in the southeast of England. There is easy access to London and surrounding cities, making it ideal for visiting in your free time. The area surrounding this town is filled with green hills and beautiful countryside, so there are ample opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. With a range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options, daily conveniences are readily available.
