University Hospital Monklands

University Hospital Monklands (UHM) is looking for a Consultant in Medicine for the Elderly to join its existing team of Consultants, Specialty Doctors and multi-disciplinary professionals; a team who have a significant track record in delivering service change and in quality improvement for patients living with Frailty in North Lanarkshire.

The department provides services across four inpatient wards at UHM and intermediate care facilities at three sites across Lanarkshire, including outpatients, stroke, frailty assessment, movement disorder, falls and orthogeriatrics, and hospital at home.

The team work in tandem with General Medicine colleagues to provide daily input to medical receiving for frail older adults within our dedicated 24 bed Frailty Receiving Unit.
