Community Geriatrics, Consultant
Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom Temporary Community Geriatrics NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
Total Shifts: 43
We are seeking an experienced Community Geriatrics Consultant to provide high-quality, patient-centred care for older people living with frailty, multiple long-term conditions and complex health and social care needs. This is an opportunity to work across community settings, helping patients remain independent, avoid unnecessary hospital admission and receive coordinated care closer to home.
You will undertake comprehensive geriatric assessments, develop and review individualised management plans, and provide specialist advice to primary care, community nursing, allied health professionals and social care colleagues. Your responsibilities will include supporting admission avoidance, facilitating timely hospital discharge, managing complex frailty presentations and contributing to multidisciplinary case discussions. You will also help strengthen care pathways for people with dementia, falls, functional decline and other conditions commonly affecting older adults.
The role will involve clinical leadership, education and supervision, with opportunities to support the development of colleagues across the wider multidisciplinary team. You will contribute to service improvement, clinical governance, audit and quality initiatives, ensuring that care is evidence-based, safe and responsive to the needs of local communities. Effective communication with patients, families and carers will be essential, particularly when discussing complex decisions, advance care planning and goals of treatment.
Applicants should hold full registration with the General Medical Council and be eligible for, or already included on, the Specialist Register in Geriatric Medicine, General Internal Medicine or an appropriate related specialty. Extensive experience in community geriatrics, frailty services or integrated care is desirable, alongside a sound understanding of safeguarding, capacity legislation and end-of-life care. You will be a compassionate and collaborative clinician with strong organisational skills, sound professional judgement and a commitment to reducing health inequalities. The ability to work flexibly across community locations and contribute positively to service development is also required.
