You will be responsible for a diverse workload of fast interventions, and you will get referrals directly from ED, AMU, and other front-door Acute services, initially under the supervision of the Clinical Service Lead. You will collaborate with Adult Services to establish and support this client group’s ability to remain at home with expanded services or access to Clinical Community services in order to avoid hospital admission or expedite hospital discharge.
