Consultant Geriatrician
(with opportunities for sub-specialty interests)
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust
What if Geriatric Medicine could be more?
More integrated, preventative, focused on independence, dignity, and living well.
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) is expanding its forward-looking Geriatrics services and is seeking enthusiastic Consultant Geriatricians to join the team.
These posts offer flexibility and breadth. Applications are welcomed from general Geriatricians and from consultants with sub-specialty interests, including Dementia, Delirium, Orthogeriatrics, Medical Education, Research and Movement Disorders.
About the Role
You will work across acute and community settings, supporting service transformation for older people across North East London. The role spans Acute Geriatrics services at Queen’s and King George Hospitals and the Ageing Well Centre at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub.
The department is looking at ways to improve care for Frail and Older patients (and reduce the phenomenon of Corridor Care) and so the post goes beyond traditional ward based care and provides real scope to develop services, pathways, partnerships, education, and population-level outcomes for frail older adults.
Key Duties
- Lead inpatient care on an acute geriatric ward, typically caring for around 15 patients
- Deliver Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment through community and urgent assessment clinics at the Ageing Well Centre
- Support and develop admission avoidance initiatives, including the Consultant-led Frailty Virtual Ward and Frailty Line
- Contribute to service development across Geriatrics, aligned to a sub-specialty area of interest

About Us
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
