Job summary
Community Geriatric Fellow - ST5 level or above
Thank you for your interest in coming to work for the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton. It is a fantastic place to work.
The Trust is large enough to be nationally renowned but small enough to be friendly and develop great working relationships with colleagues. Well-known colleagues based at UHDB include Professor Andrew Goddard, Ex-President of the Royal College of Physicians and Professor Adam Gordon, President of the British Geriatrics Society. With the Graduate Entry Medical School on the Derby Campus, we have good links with both Nottingham and Derby University and there are excellent research opportunities available.
The ARCH Home Visiting Service is a Primary Care Network team covering the geographical area of Amber Valley, Ripley, Crich and Heanor-hence ARCH.
This team is part of the Ageing Well programme They have been providing acute home visits to housebound patients for just over a year.

In addition to home visits, they also provide support to care homes and undertake proactive care such as advanced care planning.
