The post-holder will be clinically experienced in the field of older people. S/he will practice at an advanced clinical level and exercise high levels of judgement, discretion and decision making in clinical care. S/he will ensure person-centred care and family carer collaboration. As appropriate, the promotion and maintenance of independence, health and wellbeing will be undertaken.

The post will require you to appropriately assess, examine, investigate, diagnose and treat patients with undifferentiated and undiagnosed acute presentations, focusing specifically on frail elderly people who have complex needs.

This post aims to support new ways of working across acute and community services. We are looking for innovative, forward thinking clinicians who have a background in Advanced Practice, who are independent non-medical prescribers and hold a Masters in Advanced Practice. The role is dynamic and the post-holder will be proactive in developing this further in response to challenges within frailty and advanced practice. Successful applicants will be supported in their development by a Consultant mentor, a robust appraisal process and allocated time for continuing professional development
