Job summary

NCIC is expanding and investing in its Frailty services to integrate between community and secondary care. North Cumbria has an ageing population and is seeing more older people living with frailty in our emergency departments and on our wards. We know that a hospital stay makes it less likely that an elderly person can return home and live independently so we have introduced a new Frailty Hub to provide a same day service.

After a successful pilot, the service is now being permanently funded in both Whitehaven and Carlisle; therefore we are looking for dynamic and motivated team members to join our ambitious, multi-disciplinary team. We want to hear from people who are passionate about our vision to provide more care closer to home and enhance the care we provide to older people living with frailty.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for posts in both West Cumberland Hospital (WCH) and Cumberland infirmary Carlisle (base sites), however some cross cover may be required. The successful candidates will play an important role in embedding a Same Day Care approach to frailty. As a developing service, there are currently no substantive medical consultant posts within the frailty pathway, and the successful candidate will contribute to shaping clinical standards, pathways, and ways of working, in line with national guidance and local priorities.

The Same Day Care Frailty Service is intended to support timely assessment and management of patients living with frailty, with a focus on ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time. The service will work closely with the Emergency Department, ambulance services, and primary care to provide early senior clinical input, support decision-making, and where appropriate, enable same-day management and discharge with appropriate support.

The development of this service is an important part of the Trust's response to ongoing system pressures, including increasing demand, Emergency Department crowding, and delays in patient flow. The post holder will support efforts to reduce avoidable admissions, improve patient experience, and contribute to more effective use of hospital capacity, while maintaining a strong focus on patient safety and quality of care.
