Consultant Frailty Practitioner

Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 29 September 2024

Job summary

Shakespeare Road Medical Practice (SRMP) acutely faces many of the challenges being experienced more widely in Primary Care: recruitment and retention of staff, rising demand and increasing complexity. The practice has struggled for a number of years to respond to these challenges and in addition, is located in an area of higher than average social deprivation leading to increased population need.

As such, the traditional Partnership model for delivery of Primary Care is unable to meet the local need to provide a sustainable model of care and so a novel, system wide approach, reflecting the ambitions of the Fuller Stocktake review, has been established.

SRMP has a registered population of 13462 patients delivered through an APMS contract held by Southern Health Foundation Trust (SHFT). A memorandum of understanding between SHFT, Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust, Solent NHS Trust, North Hampshire Urgent Care and the Integrated Care Board is in place to understand and address the population need through a local community-based partnership approach.

In addition, SRMP is a standalone Primary Care Network which provides a unique opportunity to deliver a truly integrated, broad, neighbourhood team approach to primary care as outlined in the Fuller Stocktake.

We are keen to appoint an innovative consultant practitioner who is excited by frailty development, new opportunities that are evolving in primary care, integrated neighbourhood teams and modern general practice.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will be required to work automatously to:

Establish values based professional expert and evidence-based practice across pathways, services, organisations, and system working with individuals, families, carers, communities, and others.

Provide values-based leadership across the care pathway, services, and systems in complex and changing situations.

Develop staff potential, add to, and transform the workforce, and help people to learn, develop and improve (in and from practice) to promote excellence.

Develop a 'knowledge-rich and inquiry' culture across the service and system that contributes to research outputs and has a positive effect on development, quality, innovation, increasing capacity and capability, and making systems more effective.

Establishing expertise across the system and nationally by using consultancy approaches and opportunities that have maximum impact on practice, services, communities, and populations, and which add to and sustain workforce capacity and capability.

About us

Southern Health is one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK, specialising in mental health and learning disabilities, as well as offering physical health community-based services.

With a workforce of more than 7000 and a footprint that spans more than 200 sites across Hampshire, we're committed to providing the best possible healthcare, reaching a range of diverse communities, whilst placing patients and staff at the forefront of all our endeavours.

We are currently working closely with other NHS Trusts to combine all our collective community, mental health, and learning disability services, with the plan to create a new larger, more integrated and accessible organisation.

The transformation will happen in stages; Hampshire CAMHS, part of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust joined Southern Health in February 2024, with Isle of Wight NHS Trust mental health and community services transitioning across in May 2024. The final combination of Southern Health and Solent NHS Trust services is expected in late 2024, when our new organisation, to be known as Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, will be formed.

Our new Trust will continue to cater to the unique needs of different communities, making healthcare across the county more accessible, as well as offering staff more opportunities for career development, training and partnership working.

Join us as we embark on this exciting journey to shape the future of healthcare in Hampshire.
