Clinical geriatrician

Belgium

Intro

Have you always dreamed of a job where you can really innovate, contribute to a new way of care and build a department according to your own vision? Our client is a member of the E17 hospital network. It is a regional hospital with 271 recognized beds. Their mission is professional, accessible, smooth and high-quality care for patients within the indicated region.

What are you going to do?

We are looking for two geriatricians who will help to further expand the geriatric care program. The geriatrics department currently has 54 geriatric beds. As a geriatrician you will be part of the association internal diseases and you will work together within a young and dynamic team. The geriatricians use the accredited rates and all work independently.

• You are responsible for hospitalized patients at the geriatrics unit
• You participate in the geriatric liaison (internal and external) and the further development of the geriatric day hospital. In addition, you are involved in geriatric consultations
• During a standard working day you regularly encounter patients with a range of complaints such as fatigue, sudden falls, weight and memory loss and sadness. Some patients also lost a partner. You often see that such an accumulation of things that causes someone to deteriorate as a whole. Sometimes there is a more specific cause. Then it turns out that a patient with serious memory problems has dementia, as a result, can no longer take care of themselves properly and therefore loses weight. Other times it is about a completely different diagnosis, such as cancer, or you are dealing with a clear complaint such as a broken hip. As a clinical geriatrician you must therefore have a broad view, look at what is going on on a physical and psychological level and make connections between complaints
