Summary
Due to the continued success of UHL’s Frailty Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) pilot, we are excited to offer opportunities for motivated and experienced Band 6 Physiotherapists to join our innovative Rapid Assessment and Discharge Service (RADS) team.
Frailty SDEC is a forward-thinking model of care designed to deliver timely, multidisciplinary assessments and interventions, outside of the Emergency Department, to older adults presenting with frailty, enabling same-day discharges and reducing unnecessary admissions.
As part of the RADS team you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality, person-centred assessments across the Emergency Department, Acute Assessment Units as well as Frailty SDEC. You will work collaboratively with a large multidisciplinary team (MDT) to provide comprehensive care supporting safe, timely discharges with robust therapy input and community liaison. Furthermore, as a team we are passionate about promoting independence and preventing deconditioning for all patients across the Emergency Floor through early therapy intervention, effective MDT working and teaching.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
