An exciting opportunity for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an advanced clinical practitioner to join the evolving Acute Frailty Team at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. The Acute Frailty Team currently provide an in-reach service into the Emergency Departments (ED) at both our St Mary’s and Charing Cross hospitals, assessing patients using a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) framework, with the aim of admission avoidance.
The successful applicant will have experience working with frail patients, ideally within specific frailty services. The role will involve specialist assessments to expertly meet the needs of this complex cohort of patients. Most importantly, the successful applicant will have a passion for older people’s care.

Role Responsibilities
Working as an integral member of the multidisciplinary team (MDT), the post holder will offer expert assessment, treatment and management particularly in relation to frailty syndromes, ensuring high-quality and individualised care for patients, their families, and carers.
