Description

This post is based in the Elderly Care Department at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle (CIC) with opportunities to work across site at the West Cumberland Hospital, Whitehaven (WCH).

It is expected that the appointee will contribute equally to the out-of-hours-work and on-call rota.

The post holder will contribute to the development of the Frailty Service at the Cumberland Infirmary site, working within an effective multi-disciplinary team, to provide early assessment and management of the needs of frail older patients.

The post holder will build on the existing good relationships with primary and community care services so that frail, older people have risk factors identified and can be signposted to services that will support them to maintain their independence as close to home as possible and reduce the incidence of further crisis.

This may include co-ordination of specialist multi-disciplinary meetings which include primary and community care services to ensure that patients have robust care plans which help them to stay healthy at home for as long as possible.
