Cheltenham, United Kingdom Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

For 2.5 days per week you will be based within the Oncology Centre. You will attend SACT and new and follow up clinics in order to learn about general principles of care within Oncology. You will focus on one or two cancer sites for 6 months e.g. urology and ovarian) and will then have the opportunity to rotate to another one or two sites.

This will allow you to learn in depth about relevant cancers with reference to the frail population and also to explore common themes found within all cancer sites. Attendance at site-specific MDTs will allow further understanding of how oncology management fits within the overall patient pathway. You will set up a frailty ward round of oncology inpatients, both on the wards within the Oncology centre and other areas within the trust, visiting these with our Acute Oncology nurses. A key component of this post is to work with Oncologists to demonstrate the benefit of Geriatric Assessment as part of decision making when commencing a course of SACT, particularly for patients with non-curative malignancies.

This quality improvement work is anticipated to change practice and to reduce acute admissions as a result of toxicity from treatment. For 2 days per week (this would be equivalent number of 4 sessions to accommodate other learning needs) on Frailty Unit at GRH or CGH you would work along side our enthusiastic team of Consultant Geriatricians, GPs with special interest in Frailty, Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Advanced Clinical Practitioners, therapists in order to develop novel models of working that are essential for the rapidly changing needs of the modern NHS. We have recently added Virtual Ward to our existing model of Frailty at the front door. There are exciting plans to develop a Same Day Emergency Care at Cheltenham General Hospital in order to compliment the existing Frailty Model that operates at GRH.
