It is an exciting time to be joining our team we are ambitious to further develop the model of care for frail elderly patients including our services in areas such as Frailty, Orthogeriatrics and Dementia

• we are keen to support the successful candidate in specialist interest areas.
  
  At Weston our 12 Care of the Elderly physicians work alongside a well-developed frailty team made up of Therapists, Advanced Practitioners, Specialist Nurses, Ward Nurses and Pharmacists to deliver a comprehensive front door service (including Frailty Same Day Emergency Care), an Older Persons Assessment Unit, three ward areas and outpatient clinics including Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder and a Rapid Access Care of the Older Person (RACOP) clinic.
  
  The appointment of this position will be part of the 1:11 frailty consultant on call rota.
  
  The main site for this post at present is Weston General Hospital but as we move to full clinical service integration across UHBW it is anticipated that consultants could have some element of cross-site working to be determined through the job planning process.
