Full job description

Our vision is to provide outstanding specialist clinical services to frail and vulnerable people accessing acute hospital services.

Medicine for the Elderly is committed to continuous improvement of the care of this group, to reduce variation and standardise and embed evidence based comprehensive geriatric assessment that produces a personalised plan based on each individual’s circumstances. Complex care requires a skilled and committed multidisciplinary team as we develop our specialist frailty pathway from ED to discharge.

The role of our Frailty Advanced Clinical Practitioners is pivotal to the delivery of this new pathway and model of care. Putting the frail person at the centre of our decision making and ensuring that we limit the risks of hospitalisation by only admitting those patients where we can ‘add value’ and proactively expediting discharge home for all.

Whilst working within the frailty team, the post holder will work in an autonomous role with a Frailty Consultant, reviewing frail older adults in the Emergency Department (ED), Same day Emergency Care (SDEC), and the Frailty Virtual ward.

Whilst working within the frailty team, the post holder will work in an autonomous role with a frailty consultant, carrying out consultations for frail older adults in the Emergency Department (ED), and on the older adult wards and the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) department The successful candidate will also rotate into the community to support the frailty Virtual ward, and will be expected to carry out patient consultations autonomously.

The post holder will be practicing as an Advanced Clinical practitioner within their designated role.

The criteria for referral to the Frailty service are:
Anyone over 90

Anyone over 75 presenting with frailty syndromes- falls, immobility, confusional states

Anyone over 65 years living in a care home

Anyone with clinical frailty score (CFS) 6+ with very large carer support at home.

Frailty assessment starts at ED triage- where patients are ‘screened’ using a Rockwood Clinical Frailty Score (CFS). The ED and Navigator team assess the person and all patients able to return home within 4 hours do so. Any patient that is referred to the medical team is screened by the Frailty ACP.

Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides hospital services to a growing population of around 700,000 people living across Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas across two busy hospital sites in Bedford and Luton.
