The Post-Holder will participate in the ‘Geriatrician of the Day’ rota involving reviews of appropriate patients identified by the Frailty specialist nurses in AE short stay wards. This also encompasses seeing Ward referrals and supervising the Urgent Access Clinic. The aim is to manage these patients in the most appropriate setting, which is not always the acute hospital. There will be an increased focus on rapid, comprehensive assessment of selected patients with a view to streamlining pathways, shortening inpatient stays and preventing unnecessary admissions where patients can be more appropriately managed out of hospital.
The appointed candidate will be required to take part in the General Medical on-call rota and will be expected to carry out the required number of PTWRs when on-call. The average number of admissions in 24 hours is approximately 35. On-call duties on the General Medical Rota will currently be approximately one in 16-20. The Trust is developing 7 day services and the organisation of weekend cover may change in the future.
