Summary
Job summary
Do you want to be a GP with Extended Role – supporting community patients living with Frailty?
If so, a rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to join us in our INT Team working with colleagues from Virtual Ward, community services including a 2-hour Urgent Community Response (UCR) service, to create a Multidisciplinary Team Service to manage Frailty in our community and support patients.
We are accepting applications from GPs with an interest in frailty and complex patient management, to support patients to remain at home avoiding hospital admission or facilitating earlier discharge from hospital, where clinically appropriate. The model has a strong focus on integration, with partnership working alongside Cornwall Council, RCHT, UHP and CPFT and other local charitable and voluntary sector providers.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will provide evidence based, comprehensive, person centred and individualised medical care for older people, including completion of a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment where clinically indicated, and working as part of a multidisciplinary team, as part of holistic community patient clinical pathway management. The role whilst demanding and challenging will require the post holder to possess the specialist frailty knowledge required to support the medical management of complex and challenging presentations of older frail people and will prove extremely varied and rewarding to the post holder. The post holder will also be able to contribute to service development, local clinical protocols and pathway development and implementation for older people living with frailty, engage in research opportunities, audit and quality improvement initiatives, and clinical staff competency development.
About Us
We are a newly formed Wave 1 site embarking on Neighbourhood Team working covering the 3 Harbours and Bosvena geographical footprint in mid-Cornwall. Our supporting GP practices are:
Bosvena Health, Lostwithiel Medical Practice, Middleway Surgery and Fowey River Practice and the population covered is 43,500 patients.
We have a newly formed INT Steering Group and some skilled workforce and teams within our Community Provider, GP Practice and neighbourhood to support this work.
We will look to build a team working in an MDT approach which will include liaising with Geriatricians and other related consultants to maximise care and efficiency for our patients.
