Senior Clinical Fellow in Geriatrics & Neurorehabilitation

Job overview

Overview of the Senior Clinical Fellow role in Geriatrics & Neurorehabilitation: The overriding purpose is to support the provision of the highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement and by working closely with the broader Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT). The post will be based with the Neurorehabilitation team at Mansfield Community Hospital, with services also offered at Newark and Kings Mill Hospital.

There are excellent educational opportunities, both formal (weekly medical Grand Round, weekly Geriatric Department educational meeting) and informal. There are also opportunities for audit and QIP projects whilst working at the hospital.

The post holder will be required to work as a member of the neurorehabilitation multidisciplinary team and be supervised by Dr Silva; this will include assisting with in-reach into the medical wards, seeing neurorehabilitation referrals on medical wards, neurorehabilitation outpatient clinics, spasticity management and botulinum toxin injections, with training as required.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated.

At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically‑led organisation. We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS‑run hospital in the East Midlands.
