Our team includes a Consultant Geriatrician (and Trust Frailty lead), Frailty GP's, Nurse Consultants, Trainee/ACP's, Frailty Nurses, Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Assistant Practitioners and HCA's. The service is also supported by an experienced administration team.

We see our frailty provision as spanning the whole pathway to include primary, community and hospital services and our objective is to provide a joined-up approach.

We take pride in delivering excellent care, and as a result receiving 100% patient friends and family feedback:
“The care I have received [from the team] has been impeccable”.

“Fantastic Service. I’ve never felt so good for ages, what you’ve done is great. 10/10”

Hours of work are 9am till 5pm (Monday to Friday), based at Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre, Blackpool or South Shore Primary Care Centre, Blackpool.

- Make differential diagnoses using decision-making and problem solving skills.
- Develop with the patient an on-going care plan for health and well-being, with an emphasis on health education and preventative measures,
- Order necessary investigations and provide treatment and care both individually, as part of a team, and through referral to other agencies.
- Have a supportive role in helping people to manage and live with illness.
- Have the authority to admit or discharge patients from their caseload, and refer patients to other health care providers as appropriate.

The Community Frailty service prides itself on offering all team members the opportunity to continue to learn and develop within their role, whilst working in a supportive, inclusive MDT team.

As part of the team you will undertake CGA Initial Assessments in the community environment. You will review patients and develop management plans for them which will include the prescribing of medications as necessary utilising your non-medical prescriber skills.

You will also work across the frailty pathway supporting the identification and management of patients both in the hospital and community setting.

You will also need to act as a senior leader supporting other team members using your clinical knowledge and expertise to ensure that we provide high quality person centred care to patients both in the hospital and community setting.
