Portfolio Pathway / CESR (Specialty Doctor) in Geriatrics/DME

Derby, England, United Kingdom

7/24/2025

We are advertising posts in our well established CESR programme at the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.

We would expect the CESR programme to require 3-5 years for completion in most cases. The contract is initially for 12 months, but will be reviewed annually and extended on a mutually agreed basis, based on successful completion of required competencies at annual review.

The posts are intended to offer the clinician access to the support and training required to complete all aspects of the CESR process pending successful progression through the programme. It will be possible to provide specific secondment-style modules in the CESR programme, to address relevant educational and competency needs.

This post will usually rotate through both Royal Derby Hospital (RDH) and Queens Hospital Burton (QHB) to give a breadth of training experience. For significantly less than full time positions this can be negotiated as to be being based at RDH but may occasionally involve some cross site working dependent upon the service need.

Requirements

Duties will be split between winter pressure services in winter and specific training needs in the other months. This might include Orthogeriatrics, mental health liaison or surgical liaison. However, the following timetable can be flexible and tailored to the successful applicant's training needs and requirements:
