Darzi Fellowship Clinical Leadership

An opportunity has arisen for a Darzi Fellow +1 year as a way of consolidating learning from the programme and driving forward a project started during the Darzi year. The post holder will be working with the SW London ICS and community partners to implement and evaluate frailty pathways for patients attending St George's, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group. The development of these pathways is a strategic clinical priority for the organisation and year 1 of the Darzi fellowship delivered initial work to establish frailty pathways in line with national best practices, working in collaboration with community providers. This fellow will build on this initial work, working alongside the Managing Director for Integrated Care, Programme Director and site leads, but also working with clinicians to establish new clinical pathways that improve patient experience and clinical outcomes.
Please note this position is only available for internal staff within Epsom, St Helier and St Georges., A key focus for this year 2 Darzi fellow opportunity will be the management of patients with frailty, including work to explore workforce models for community support of frailty, and with AHPs to lead work on rehab and re-ablement pathways. A core requirement will be engagement with stakeholders from across the Trust and community and evaluating evidence based ways to improve care through innovative models.

Surrey Downs Health and Care has a track record of providing person centered care that goes beyond organisational boundaries to do what is best for the individual. This partnership includes:
+ The three GP federations GP Health Partners, Dorking Health Care and Surrey Medical Network representing practices that operate in the Surrey Downs area
+ CSH Surrey
+ Epsom and St Helier's University Hospitals NHS Trust
+ Surrey Council County
Historically, there have been boundary lines between the organisations that provide care to people in their homes, in GP surgeries and in hospitals, but we have always been united in our mission to provide great care to the people who need us.
It's on those grounds that the Surrey Downs Health and Care was formed - we want local people to receive the care that they need in the right environment. By bringing together our expertise, we can improve patient care and enable local people to access the right support, care and treatment more easily than ever before.
In bringing this partnership together, we are working to the same set of values that will translate into better care for our residents.
