This post will support the delivery of an acute frailty service and will provide clinical leadership in the strategic development of the service which will further enhance the care and improve the care provision for frail elderly patients in North Warwickshire.
Here at George Eliot, our vision to 'excel at patient care' takes centre stage. An ever-evolving clinically-led acute service provider, we are on a journey to continually provide high quality, safe and responsive services delivered by inspiring, friendly, and compassionate staff who share our corporate values which underpin everything we do. Our values are not just words on a piece of paper; they bond us together, reflect our ambition, and shape who we are.
The GEH Elderly Care team is an innovative, enthusiastic, and multidisciplinary team consisting of:
1. 5.0 wte consultants
2. 2.0 wte Specialist Registrar / Trust middle grade doctors
3. 3.0 wte rotational FY1s
4. 2.0 wte rotational SHOs
5. 4.0 wte ACPs
6. 3.0 wte Clinical Nurse Specialists
7. 3.0 wte Physician Associates
Inpatient care is provided on Bob Jakin (18 beds), Victoria (27 beds), and on AMU as part of the frailty service. In addition, the team will operate from a state-of-the-art frailty assessment unit (FAU) which allows evaluation of the patient and avoidance of admission, or if this is not possible, early care and discharge planning to mitigate the risk of Hospital Acquired Functional Decline and extended length of stay. This post will further enhance that care and provide opportunities to extend the service and remit. Within the service, it is anticipated that the consultant for this new role will have an average caseload of 14 patients during ward rounds. #J-18808-Ljbffr
