Specialty
The Department of Clinical Geratology specialises in the medical care and rehabilitation of older patients. Our consultant body is focused on delivering excellent patient-centred care, with an emphasis on establishing our patients’ priorities and providing tailored, holistic, multidisciplinary treatment. Communication with patients, families, and colleagues in both primary and secondary care is paramount. There is a constant drive to enhance the care we provide, evidenced by the quantity and breadth of quality improvement (QI) projects currently being undertaken.
Principal Responsibilities
Duties appropriate to the grade of the post and under the direction of the responsible consultants, principally consisting of clinical care of patients who are being investigated and treated in:
There are currently four medical geriatric wards (Complex Medical Units), a Stroke Unit, and the Lionel Cosin Day hospital, all sited at the John Radcliffe Hospital. The majority of patients are transferred from the acute on-take medical service after initial diagnosis and treatment. There is an acute stroke assessment and treatment (thrombolysis/thrombectomy) service. Work on the wards is multidisciplinary, with daily meetings between nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers and other allied health professionals.
Many of the Consultants hold significant leadership, teaching and research roles in the Trust and the University of Oxford, providing unique opportunities for applicants to develop these skills and network with colleagues sharing similar interests. Most of the department’s consultants work also with on-take teams in Acute General Medicine.
