Job summary
South Tandridge PCN, part of the Dorking Healthcare GP Federation, is made up of Oxted Medical Practice, Pond Tail Surgery, and Lingfield Surgery with a population of approximately 30,000 patients.
This PCN has worked together over several years and is therefore mature in its collaboration with member practices as well as external provider organisations.
This project aims to create a frailty clinical pathway (Hub) that all practices within this PCN can refer into. The aim is to offer care in the patients' homes, with the avoidance of unplanned admissions.
The Frailty General Practitioner will be responsible for providing clinical leadership to the frailty hub team and providing medical leadership to the wider community team of Community Matron, District Nurses, Pharmacists etc. within the South Tandridge Primary Care Network (PCN).
Main duties of the job
This service will be available up to 5 sessions per week with the expectation that coverage will be across the working week, but flexible requests will be considered.
Improved home visiting at scale will also potentially reduce pressure on A&E attendance with the role of the Frailty General Practitioner providing oversight and clinical care to a cohort of patients as identified by the individual practices within the PCN. This role will include seeing patients in their own homes as well as visits to care homes where appropriate.
The Frailty General Practitioner will be responsible for developing a care plan for patients at risk of hospital admission, using your clinical skills to diagnose and treat patients accordingly. This will involve liaising with other professionals responsible for the patients care, referring to other teams as necessary as well as liaising with secondary care, community care, social care, mental health services and other local providers.
