Advanced Frailty Practitioner Band 7

The shift pattern is Monday – Sunday 10am-6pm
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) are delighted to announce the opportunity to become part of a new and exciting Home First Service. A GGC wide network of Advanced Frailty Practitioner posts will be the cornerstone in developing and delivering this innovative service, supporting those with frailty to maximise their independence and wellbeing within their local communities and preventing avoidable hospital admissions. GGC are committed to improving and connecting integrated frailty pathways, and significant investment supports the delivery of this initiative and advanced frailty practitioner posts. GGC welcome applications from experienced and innovative practitioners with an appetite for service improvement and self-development, from across the NMAHP and pharmacy workforce. These specialist Band 7 posts will work across the primary secondary interface, with Frailty Practitioners aligned within acute front doors and in each HSCP area. Critical to the success of these roles will be facilitating and enabling communication between and within multidisciplinary teams across acute and community services. The frailty practitioners will work as a virtual network and enable high level joint clinical decision making, with regard to right care, right place and right time to maximise patient outcomes, preventing avoidable hospital presentation and admission, and supporting discharge without delays. Given the autonomous and specialist nature of these posts GGC is committed to supporting and funding successful candidates to undertake post graduate training to Masters PG Certificate level.
