This is an opportunity to influence the development of a multidisciplinary team that brings together professionals from a range of services including (but not limited to) medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social care, therapy, voluntary sector, and community services.

The service facilitates multi-agency coordination and shared decision making via MDT meetings, as well as completing personalised care plans, comprehensive geriatric assessment of people who are frail and intensive treatment plans for long term condition management.
The service aims to reduce emergency admissions, promote independent living, and enhance coordinated care through a multi-disciplinary, holistic approach. The urgency is driven by the need to alleviate hospital pressures and improve patient outcomes
