GP Lead (Extended role in frailty) - Bosvena Health, Bodmin
Overview
GP Lead (Extended role in frailty) - Bosvena Health, Bodmin. 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.
Responsibilities
* 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.
* Apply specialist frailty knowledge to support the medical management of complex and challenging presentations of older frail people; 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.
* Work in collaboration with integrated care partners to maximise care and efficiency for patients and liaise with organisations including Cornwall Council, RCHT, UHP and CPFT where appropriate.
