Job summary
Our General Acute Medicine and Frailty Virtual Ward is a new, exciting and innovative Service, which has an agreed admission criteria and works in partnership with supporting care services to deliver acute care in the patient's own home. The Frailty Hub will identify people at the front door who would benefit from a comprehensive geriatric assessment to enable the prevention of an admission by monitoring them on the virtual ward. The aim of a virtual ward is to reduce length of acute hospital stay and/or avoid hospital admission; this leads to quicker recovery and reduces disruption to patients', and their carers' lives. This means we can proactively manage people living with frailty at home, and for those that have a sub-acute episode we can improve a patient's experience and outcomes. In addition, this means we have more space in our hospitals for acutely unwell patients and reduces the pressure on urgent care
