These are exciting times for Medicine for Older People in Bucks. We are working towards strengthening our presence at the front door as well as our foothold in the community, particularly with regards to Frailty.

We are looking for a dynamic person with strong leadership and innovation skills to work in a team to develop Frailty services in Buckinghamshire.

We aim to have a small but robust acute footprint whilst maintaining and strengthening our larger community footprint. For us the front door is the patient’s front door and not the AED

A sensible, patient-centered approach to Frailty is expected in the post-holder, as well as flexible working at both acute and community level.
