East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
About
East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS organisations in the region, employing over 12,000 staff and serving a population of almost 800,000 residents. We deliver care from two main hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, six community hospitals and in patients' own homes.
We are an ambitious trust with a simple vision, to provide the communities we serve with excellent healthcare and build a better future for the people of East Suffolk and North Essex. To help us do this, we will work closely with our local partners to deliver more of the joined-up services and care our residents need.
For our staff and our patients we have the same philosophy: time matters. We concentrate on removing or improving the things we do that don't work for our patients. For our staff, this means more time to care for patients and greater opportunities to develop skills and experience. We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.
To be the best, we need to attract and keep the best staff. Our size puts us in a strong position to grow, providing more of the latest services. Our scale provides exciting opportunities for development, innovation, research, education and training. Support from technology and logistics help us see patients at the right time.
If you are passionate about patient care, want to develop your skills and knowledge and if your ambition matches ours, its time to work together.

Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is at the heart of all we do; and it forms part of the ESNEFT’s core activities. The Trust operates and relies on everyone treating each other with dignity and respect, to receive equitable and fair treatment in the implementation of Policies, Procedures and in its Practices, to foster positive work relationships, and finally to act with integrity as a professional within ESNEFT as well as a representative of the NHS as a whole. The EDI Agenda reflects the Trust values such as Optimistic, Appreciative and Kind. In line with the NHS Long Term Plan, People Plan, People Promise and a Model Employer intrinsic in the Equality Diversity and Inclusion Agenda, we consistently strive to improve, to take the learning into Action for a better ESNEFT.
If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge then we are keen to hear from you.

Are you interested in becoming a key part of an innovative and forward-thinking organisation, developing your clinical skills across traditional health, social care and voluntary sector boundaries? We are seeking a GP with a special interest in frailty who is driven, committed and enthusiastic, who will bring clinical leadership to our multidisciplinary team and provide high quality care to our patients. This post will be 2 sessions on a weekly basis with appropriate breaks
REACT brings health, social care and voluntary sector (British Red Cross, Suffolk Family Carers and Citizens Advice Bureau) services together to provide a single coordinated care response that is underpinned by care in the community with early intervention, crisis management, reablement and rehabilitation. Based in the lovely county of Suffolk, this is a key role working within our virtual frailty ward and the 2-hour urgent community response across Ipswich & East Suffolk.
Advert
The virtual frailty ward seeks to manage individuals living with frailty who have an acute medical condition that would usually necessitate an admission to the hospital but with the support provided by the virtual frailty ward team, the individual will be supported to remain in their own home receiving a high level of clinical care, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions to manage the acute episode.
The urgent community response within REACT provides a two-hour response and subsequent support to people who are experiencing a health or social care crisis that puts the individual at risk of not being safely managed within their own home with an increased risk of a hospital admission. This service enables adults with complex needs to access support from a wide range of health, voluntary and social care practitioners, supporting the individual’s independence if possible.
Please see attached application information pack for further details about the role including the JD & PS.
