Parnassia is looking for a specialist in geriatric medicine for the geriatric clinic in Castricum.

Do you want to work as a specialist in geriatric medicine within Parnassia's elderly psychiatry on a specialized inpatient ward for psychogeriatrics? If you have an affinity for patients with psychogeriatric issues combined with complex diagnostic questions and/or severe behavioral problems, then this position within the Castricum geriatric clinic is for you.

As a specialist in geriatric medicine, you will work on the psychogeriatric inpatient ward, where elderly people are admitted with complex diagnostic questions and/or severe behavioral problems in which multiple psychiatric and/or somatic conditions, or a suspicion thereof, play a role.

You provide specialist geriatric medical care and play an important role in strengthening and safeguarding somatic, geriatric, and palliative care within this clinical setting. The focus lies on stabilization, diagnostics, treatment, and optimizing quality of life.

Within Parnassia, we work in a recovery- and person-centered manner, with an eye for autonomy and self-management, in close cooperation with clients and their loved ones.

In this position, you are medically responsible for the geriatric medical care and act as the lead practitioner within the psychogeriatric inpatient unit, working closely with the elderly psychiatrist(s). Your responsibilities include:

• Medical responsibility for the integral treatment of clinically admitted psychogeriatric clients;
• Diagnostics, assessment, and treatment of cognitive and complex psychiatric issues;
• Advising on follow-up (residential) settings;
• Identifying and treating somatic complications and frailty;
• Coordinating and providing palliative care where necessary;
• Advising and consulting within the multidisciplinary treatment team;
• Close cooperation with elderly psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and psychologists;
• Guiding and coaching nurses in somatic and geriatric issues;
