The specialty currently manage patients across a number of inpatient services. These include the review of acute admissions in the Emergency Zone on Level 0 of the Brunel Building, a newly created Acute Frailty Unit on level 1 (32 beds), with post-admission short stay capacity. Two complex care wards are located on level 5 (32 beds on each) with a further short stay bed base (c.16 beds). Transitional post- acute care beds are located in the nearby Elgar House wards, which includes 70 beds. A front door multidisciplinary team called the Frailty Team has been in place since September 2013 working with the Emergency Department and medical admission area providing early assessment and case management of frail older people. A 33 bed frailty unit focusing on comprehensive geriatric assessment opened in September 2015, incorporating the Frailty team. The most recent development of this ward has seen this move towards a direct admitting Acute Frailty Unit, working closely with the acute medicine team Proactive in-reaching liaison is currently offered to vascular, major trauma, burns and general surgical teams. There are many opportunities for the successful applicant to contribute to developing and delivering liaison services. Community facilities post- acute intermediate care is delivered in the Elgar Enablement Unit on the Southmead site, and regional rehabilitation is provided by Sirona Care and Health: the provider for all of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire since April 2020. The North Bristol Care Home Interface team (NCHIP) provide a proactive advanced care planning service for older people residing in nursing homes, comprised of a multidisciplinary team led by a consultant community geriatrician.
