Job Description:
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK, employing around 40,000 staff across various clinical and non-clinical roles. We provide acute hospital, primary, community, and mental health services to over 1.15 million people, expanding to 2.2 million with regional and national services.
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Occupational Therapist to join our expanding Frailty Service in the North Sector. This role is vital in shaping integrated care for older adults with frailty. The service at Glasgow Royal Infirmary uses tools like the HIS Frailty Assessment Tool, offers rapid access to Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA), and involves multidisciplinary collaboration. The team aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital stays, and enhance discharge planning, working closely with health and social care partners to deliver person-centered care.
The successful candidate will be a Band 6 Occupational Therapist working alongside Physiotherapists and Healthcare Support Workers to provide patient-centered care. The role involves leading Allied Health Professional input in the acute receiving area, seven days a week, focusing on frail patients with co-morbidities to ensure early assessment, treatment, and discharge planning. This support aims to improve hospital flow and ensure timely discharges, employing a multidisciplinary approach to deliver optimal patient care.
