LED ST1/ST2 in Clinical Geratology

The closing date is 05 January 2026

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.

Main duties of the job

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:

• the Complex Medical Units (CMU)
• the Stroke Unit
• Surgery, Orthopaedics, Trauma, and Vascular Units, under the care of liaison Geriatricians
• the Day Hospital
• outpatient clinics including Movement Disorders, Memory, Falls, General Geratology, and Rapid Access

The post holder may rotate around these clinical areas.

About us

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.

Job responsibilities

Daily Commitment:

Day to day care of the patients on the wards, including transfers from other hospitals and occasional emergency admissions. Attending ward and board rounds and multidisciplinary rehabilitation and discharge‑planning meetings, and on certain days attending patients in outpatient clinics and in the Day Hospital. There are four CMU wards, each with 2 FY1 grade doctors and 1 Consultant. You will provide middle grade supervision to the FY1s and report to the consultant. ST3+ trainees are available on CMU wards for advice and support. The Stroke Unit has a daily consultant ward round and there are two ST3+ doctors. The perioperative liaison team consists of a consultant physician and a fellow. The Day Hospital post includes seeing new patients in an outpatient setting.
