Clinical Fellow - Acute Frailty with Community Interface

Medical management of our frail, older patients should be individualised and, ideally, in their own environment. At Frimley, we have had excellent success with are 2 hour Urgent Community Response Team (Hospital@Home) as well as our Frailty Team. Our patients benefit from both services and, particularly noticeable with the UCR patients, we can see the significant benefits of this individualised, home first approach. We want to improve the interaction between these two teams as well as the assessment of frail, older patients in the Emergency Department. We want to improve the assessment of these patients with appropriate, timely triage and using the home first principle. You will be sponsored to complete postgraduate certificate level academic studies at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) as an integral part of the role. Fellows will be supported to network and collaborate with colleagues on the programme from different professional backgrounds and across geographical communities in KSS to enhance learning and developments.
