Join BrisDoc as a GP or IUC Clinical Practitioner (Prescriber) and become part of our award-winning F-ACE (Frailty-ACE) Service, delivering innovative, person-centred urgent care that helps frail patients remain safely at home whenever possible.
What is the Frailty- ACE Service
Frailty-ACE (Assessment and Coordination of Emergency and urgent care) is an innovative approach to coordinating the health and care responses required to manage frail people at home, when a crisis would otherwise result in conveyance to the Emergency Department (ED) and/ or medical admission. The intervention is targeted to support our frailest patients who are at greatest risk of long admissions with ‘no criteria to reside’ in hospital.
The co-located F-ACE ‘team of teams’ comprises experienced urgent Primary Care and community clinicians, social worker and remote specialist frailty expertise, and works alongside our integrated mental health team. They remotely assess and manage frail people’s urgent physical health, mental health and care needs, including support for carers. F-ACE is closely integrated with Urgent Community Response, Frailty NHS@Home (virtual ward), social care, Frailty Same Day Emergency Care and 24-hour General Practice, enabling face to face assessment, and/ or ongoing monitoring and health, therapies or care interventions at home.
Job Overview
Our Frailty-ACE is an innovative, award-winning approach to supporting frail people with urgent/emergency needs. The co-located Primary Care, and Community ACP is supported by specialist advice from Consultant Geriatricians. It works to support person-centred assessment and care, and to coordinate the services required to support frail patients who would otherwise be admitted or conveyed to remain at home when this aligns with their wishes and/or best interests.
