Integrated Community Physician & Clinical Lead (CHIEF Programme) inBarrow inBarrow PUBLISHED
FRI 6 DEC 2024
Applicants should be Consultants, GPs, or experienced clinicians with expertise in general medicine and frailty, particularly in community settings. As this is a novel program at its inception, successful candidates will have the opportunity to shape the service's development over the coming years, emphasizing coordinated, holistic, intensive, early, and focused care for adult patients.
We are looking for a doctor to join our exciting new programme in Furness - The CHIEF Programme - as Clinical Lead. We are developing a new multidisciplinary team to provide dedicated support for those patients who are at high-risk of admission to hospital and those who are recurrently being admitted.
The programme aims to be Co-ordinated, Holistic, Intensive, Early and Focussed, bringing together colleagues from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social care, voluntary sector, therapy and community teams.
Working in an MDT environment you will provide clinical input and leadership to the team as you collectively define a management plan which addresses the needs of the whole patient across physical, mental and social care needs.
Clinical Leadership
This new programme will require strong and innovative clinical leadership. The successful applicant will need to develop strong relationships with the teams involved in the MDT and wider system partners. This is an opportunity to shape an exciting new model of care in Furness.
The Clinical Lead will also have responsibility for line managing clinicians working within the programme, ensuring high quality clinical care and participating in trust quality and safety work.
Working in an MDT environment you will provide clinical input and leadership to the team as you collectively define a management plan which addresses the needs of the whole patient across physical, mental and social care needs.
Doctors within the CHIEF programme will provide leadership of MDT meetings, clinical reviews (either remotely or face to face via home visits or clinic appointments) and support to the wider team with senior decision making.
Our data identified a very small number of patients (<1000) who drove ~30% of our admissions and bed days at Furness General Hospital. With your input we want to see the CHIEF programme address the diverse, unmet needs in these patients and then support them to 'live well' in their home environment.
The team will work during the working week with no evening or weekend work required, MDT meetings will be held throughout the week and are based in Barrow town centre.
About us
This is a novel programme at the early stages of development, we hope and expect that successful applicants will be part of shaping this exciting new service over the coming years.
We invite applications from Consultants, GPs or experienced clinicians who are able to provide independent, senior decision making within the multi-disciplinary team. The programme is looking at adult patients only so we are looking for candidates with experience managing general medicine and frailty who understand the complexities of the community setting.
Please wait...this will take a moment...
