Romford, United Kingdom Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

We are seeking Clinical Fellows to join the dynamic, motivated and innovative Geriatrics and Frailty team at BHRUT to deliver excellent and safe care for our patients. This appointment will be for a 12-month fixed term initially to work in our Geriatrics team with a unique and innovative Acute Frailty Unit that is among the first in the country to operate an independent Rapid Assessment and Focused Treatment (Rafting) model outside an ED environment.

The post holder will drive forward developments, improving the quality of care delivered to patients with a focus on maximising peoples’ independence and supporting their return to their usual place of residence wherever possible. You will receive peer support from staff working across the Care of Elderly services at Barking, Havering Redbridge University and be fully supported by an integrated management team helping you to drive forward change.

The successful post-holder would support the development and clinical transformation of our busy Care of Elderly faculty through the extremely busy frailty pathway.

Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.

As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.

We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.

We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.

We are excited to be advertising a number of Geriatrics and Frailty Clinical Fellow posts, based in our newly formed Acute Frailty Unit at BHRUT. You will be joining a unique and innovative Acute Frailty Unit that is among the first in the country to operate an independent Rapid Assessment and Focused Treatment (Rafting) model outside an ED environment. The Units accept direct ambulance conveyances of older people and thereby bypass ED. The Units function as medical ED for the over 75s and ensure that all our patients undergo a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) by our MDT based on our units.

The Queens Frailty Unit will have medical cover with two or more doctors present at all times. There is extended consultant cover from 08:00 - 21:00 daily, weekends & bank holidays
