Clinical Support - Acute Frailty Coordinator

Using a discharge to assess model, the aim of the frailty team assessment is to facilitate a same day discharge or holistically tailor an efficient admission. These processes are supported by a MDT approach to patient care and promote communication with other services both in the hospital and the community. Our proactive front door culture is critical to achieving the right outcome for the Shropshire population living with frailty. This post will help ensure the coordination and completion of these assessments.

This will also be considered a developmental role aimed to change from band 3 to band 4 position within six months.

• Manage a caseload of frail patients following the comprehensive geriatric assessment action plan.
