Services
The Community Frailty Team specialises in patients living with an element of frailty which could include loss of physical functions or biological reserves. The team assesses, manages and co-ordinates specialised care in people experiencing decline. It operates across the hospital and in the community and has recently set up frailty hubs in the community, integrating with neighbourhood teams to work as a multidisciplinary team.
The team is based at Pinfold Health Centre, Field Road, Bloxwich, WS3 3JP.
People need to be referred into the team by a healthcare professional, including a GP medical summary where available. This is then sent to the generic Community Nursing hub email and triaged by the receiving team.
