This post will have a specific role in the redevelopment of both the older people outpatients and the assessment and rehabilitation services. Pre Covid - 19 the Day hospital provided a 5 day service. The development of community work and the introduction of rapid access clinic slots had provided options as an alternative to hospital admission, with a comprehensive geriatric assessment, led by a Consultant Geriatrician.

This includes virtual consultations and the development of rehabilitation and assessment clinics.
