Nurse Consultant Frailty Same Day Services

Nurse Consultant Frailty Same Day Services, 1 vacancy Carlisle, 1 vacancy Whitehaven Are you a dynamic and motivated clinician? Are you focussed on patient centred care and choice? Do you want to be involved in an exciting new Frailty service in North Cumbria - if so we want to hear from you! North Cumbria has an ageing population and is seeing more older people living with frailty in our emergency departments and on our wards. We know that a hospital stay makes it less likely that an elderly person can return home and live independently so we have introduced a new Frailty Hub to provide a same day service. After a successful pilot, the service is now being permanently funded in both Whitehaven and Carlisle; therefore we are looking for dynamic and motivated team members to join our ambitious, multi-disciplinary team. We want to hear from people who are passionate about our vision to provide more care closer to home and enhance the care we provide to older people living with frailty. The NHS 10 year plan is making three big shifts in how the NHS works: 1. From hospital to community - more care will be available on people's doorsteps and in their homes 3. From sickness to prevention: we'll reach patients earlier and make the healthy choice the easy choice We are making steps towards these shifts but we now need to make further moves to help us provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
