Blackpool Teaching Hospitals is an acute hospital with many community supporting functions across the Fylde Coast and wider Lancashire. Blackpool Hospital sits within Blackpool itself close to the picturesque Stanley Park and within walking distance of the town centre. Blackpool has a highly transient population due to being a very busy seaside resort, which makes this role both unique and challenging for the right candidate. It is an exciting time to become part of the Blackpool Teaching Hospitals Family as we embark on a transformational change journey in the way which we provide services to our patients and their families across our Integrated Care System. There are two wards within the acute hospital setting dedicated to Care of The Older Person, however the Trust will also have several outliers across other medical wards in the hospital. We also have a rehabilitation hospital based in the seaside resort of Lytham St. Annes. The Division boasts a revolutionary Community Frailty Service as part of our out of hospital services, which provides support to our frail local population in their homes and supports our Frailty Virtual Ward. The Trust has recently seen the introduction of a dedicated Acute Frailty Unit which is supported by both acute, community and social care multi-disciplinary teams. Care of the Older Person services include Parkinson’s Disease, Ortho geriatrics and Older Adult Mental Health in-reach. The Trust has seen significant developments in its Emergency Department and Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC). The Trust's mission is "Together We Care" which encompasses the strategic vision for operating as a high performing organisation within an Integrated Care System (ICS), which provides quality, safe and effective care. This will be achieved in a financially sustainable way through our values-driven, skilled and motivated workforce: · People-centred - Serving people is the focus of everything we do. · Positive - having a "can do" response whatever the situation. · Compassion - always demonstrating we care. · Excellence - continually striving to provide the best care possible. Our Values are drivers for the behaviours that all our staff strive to demonstrate. The values and behaviours have been and continue to be embedded and communicated across the organisation via a number of initiatives - including our recruitment processes, corporate induction, team briefings, meetings, appraisals and our annual awards ceremony. You will be part of a medical consultant team and supported by a team of junior and trainee medical staff. In addition, we have a variety of other clinical support teams who we work alongside through an MDT approach to care ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Our multi-disciplinary team in Geriatric Medicine is highly motivated and friendly and they have worked together towards establishing frailty and geriatric services in this Trust. We now want to continue building on this positive work by assessing more frail patients at the front door, thus improving patient outcomes.
