Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The care of frail older people is a ‘flagship’ project for the NHS in Somerset.

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape care for older adults across our county. Frailty is a team effort: everyone here is committed to the successful delivery of services across the whole of Somerset with proactive collaborative working between primary and secondary care in community and acute settings. Our work is supported by the National Frailty Network, and is a priority programme across Somerset, alongside other initiatives including Anticipatory Care.

Contributing to Rapid Access Clinics located within Primary Care Networks or acute settings.

Working with our Primary care networks (PCNs), for example through PCN MDT complex care meetings to deliver anticipatory care to allow people to stay independent at home.

Delivering ward rounds and MDT meetings in community hospitals to ensure a holistic and realistic approach.

Yeovil District Hospital and Musgrove Park Hospital (Somerset NHS Foundation Trust) are currently in the process of merging to become one single Trust, offering combined health care service to the population of Somerset. Our aim is to offer harmonious patient and workforce experiences across both sites, offering the same standard of care to our patients.

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is the first NHS trust on the English mainland to provide community, mental health and acute hospital services. We work with health and social care partners in Somerset to ensure that we deliver outstanding services that meet the needs of our population.
