The Frailty Practitioner will join a team consisting of 2 GPs, 6 Frailty Nurses/Nurse Practitioners and an Occupational Therapist, with support from Frailty Assistant HCAs to proactively manage patients living in care homes and those who are housebound. Admission avoidance, improved diagnostic rates, better coordination of care, increased use of anticipatory care plans, reduction in falls and improved management of chronic conditions are amongst the objectives.
