The successful applicant will work with the Orthogeriatric Team and be predominantly responsible for providing care for Elderly Trauma (over 75 years) and Hip Fracture patients (all ages) on the Trauma and Orthopaedic (T&O) wards.

The post holder will be responsible for providing care for our elderly trauma and hip fracture patients on the trauma and orthopaedic wards.

This is a new joint model of care with the trauma and orthopaedic (T&O) team based on the new Silver Trauma Unit launched 2021.


Our friendly and dynamic team consists of 3 Ortho-geriatric Consultants, 1 Associate Specialist and 1 Clinical fellow already in post and involves close working with the Elderly Trauma Specialist Nurse as well as the T&O junior doctors.
