This is an opportunity to be part of an evolving approach to neighbourhood healthcare, supporting patients living with frailty, multiple long-term conditions and complex health needs through proactive, coordinated and personalised care.

Working alongside our Frailty Practitioner, MDT Coordinator and wider Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT), you will provide senior clinical expertise, leadership and guidance to support early intervention, improve patient outcomes and reduce avoidable hospital admissions.

We are looking for a GP with a particular interest in frailty and complex patient management who is passionate about collaborative working, developing services and helping patients remain well and independent within their own communities.

The role offers up to six sessions per week on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with flexibility for the sessions to be shared between more than one GP.

Key responsibilities include:

• Undertaking Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments (CGA), structured medication reviews and anticipatory care planning.
• Providing senior clinical assessment and management for patients in GP Practices, care homes and their own homes.
• Developing personalised care and support plans to promote independence, prevent deterioration and reduce avoidable hospital admissions.
• Providing clinical advice, guidance and support to the Frailty Practitioner, MDT Coordinator and wider multidisciplinary team.
• Leading and contributing to multidisciplinary team meetings, complex case discussions and shared clinical decision-making.
• Working collaboratively with GP Practices, community nursing, therapy services, mental health, social care and wider neighbourhood partners to ensure coordinated patient care.
• Supporting effective clinical pathways, timely escalation and access to appropriate community and specialist services.
• Contributing to the ongoing development, clinical governance and quality improvement of the Integrated Neighbourhood Frailty Team.

The role combines direct patient care with clinical leadership and multidisciplinary working, helping to establish a proactive, joined-up approach to frailty management across our local population.
