Main duties of the job
They will be providing early and appropriate assessments to identify those who need hospital admission and those whose needs may best be met by Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) with or without linked primary care and community support. Succeeding in this should minimise patients' risk of exposure to COVID-19, along with other hospital associated risks such as deconditioning. This is particularly important for people aged over 65 years, who are more likely to present with symptoms of frailty. If treated as a priority, it is less likely these patients will need to be admitted to hospital.
The role will be responsible for the line management and professional leadership of the band 7 Frailty Practitioners within the integrated care networks.
The front door frailty team will aim to minimise and remove delays in the patient pathway, allowing services to care for patients within the same day, as an alternative to hospital admission.
