Band 7 Highly Specialist Physiotherapist | Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust

BHRUT are committed to changing the model of care for our increasing elderly and frail population by shifting to a more proactive care approach. By doing so we want to identify those people at risk of developing frailty and initiate early interventions to improve management, prevent deterioration and even reverse a person's level of frailty. At the heart of this will be a multi-professional comprehensive geriatric assessment. We will be implementing further measures to proactively manage patients who may be heading towards a crisis that would otherwise result in attendance to hospital, by providing same and next day urgent assessment appointments. If you are passionate about the future of care for ageing patients, creative, happy to work flexibly across all the services within the frailty hub and are looking to develop and further your own skills and capabilities within this specialty then, please apply to be part of our vision to create a Centre of outstanding care.

We're an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we're no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients are happy with. Many of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer. We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out. We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It'll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
