This is a new 8PA post based at St Mary’s Hospital Campus of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
Medicine for the Elderly (MfE) services have evolved over recent years at St Mary’s Hospital so there is now a multiprofessional Acute Frailty Team and ED liaison service, in addition to the 48 acute MFE beds across 3 wards, outpatients and liaison work with multiple community services in West London. The acute frailty team requires daily consultant input and so in addition to the current job-share arrangement, this new post has been created to allow for year-round provision of acute frailty input on admissions wards and into the Emergency Department, and further to allow the development of Frailty SDEC at the SMH site.
