The GP/ANP will be responsible for carrying out appropriate actions following the MDT e.g., medication reviews, input into the crisis care planning and EOL if appropriate. • Where necessary the patient will need to be temporarily registered with the GP's practice whilst undergoing assessment at Marrow House. • The GP will be responsible for reviewing and updating/initiating ReSPECT forms where service users wish to complete the document. • The practice will be responsible for providing cover during any leave. The provider must be a local primary care practice within a 10 mile radius of Marrow House, to provide GP dementia cover to the 21 beds where the length of stay for patients is approximately 2 - 6 weeks. The service will be available for 5 days per week Monday to Friday during practice opening times. The NHS Standard Contract will apply.
