Acute Frailty Service There is an established Acute Frailty Service which comprises a Multidisciplinary Team based in ED, CDU and Ealing Acute Care Unit giving rapid and responsive Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment to older patients with frailty at the front door. This service creates individualised plans for patients with the aim to avoid admission if possible or reduce the length of stay if admission is required. There is opportunity to be involved with the Acute Frailty Service which involves leading the Frailty MDT (currently 2 Frailty Practitioners, one frailty nurse, one frailty OT, a frailty pharmacist and an SHO) to assess appropriate patients presenting ED and CDU and EACU. OPRAC The Older Persons Rapid Assessment Clinic (OPRAC) is a well-established service providing Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in an outpatient setting. We have a mix of virtual and face to face appointments. OPRAC is now combined with Ealing Acute Care Unit so that older patients with frailty, who have historically been excluded from ambulatory pathways can have access to same day emergency care (SDEC) avoiding unnecessary and potentially harmful admissions. There is an opportunity for the post holder to create a rapid access clinic of their own interest e.g. heart failure clinic. Sub-speciality interests Development of any special interests is encouraged and will be actively supported e.g. Continence, Falls, Movement Disorders, Surgical liaison including Orthogeriatrics, and Community including potential involvement in the Ealing Frailty Virtual Ward. Time within the job plan to explore and develop services related to these can be negotiated. On call commitments General medical on call commitment is approximately two days per month and 8 weekend days per year. A typical medical take is 30-40 patients per 24 hours. This attracts a 1% on call supplement and time off in lieu during the week. The consultant is on call from home overnight. Administrative support The appointee will be given appropriate shared office accommodation with the provision of personal computer equipment (with PAS, email and internet access), telephone and secretarial support.
