Are you looking for a new opportunity to enhance your knowledge and care of patients living with frailty?

As a Frailty Practitioner
You will provide proactive support to people in their own homes and this is an opportunity to help provide care to our patients in a truly integrated way, working with the services across the neighbourhood.
You will provide both proactive and reactive care to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions by supporting individuals to remain in their own homes by undertaking holistic and generalist assessments at the point of need. You will assist individuals and their carers to proactively anticipate their future health needs, support self-care, develop appropriate plans, manage deterioration via early intervention and work collaboratively with the wider MDT Team to promote improved outcomes and the management of frailty.
The service is covered 8.30 to 16.30 with a possible future weekend rota as the service develops.
