The JB-CFS also featured on NHS England’s website dedicated to the NHS Long Term Plan as the leading case study in the Ageing Well section. More recently, the team featured on a Panorama programme which assessed the innovative and new ways of working delivered by our team, evidence to support not only our frail population but also the demands placed on the NHS.

In 2021 the Parkinson’s service was named the UK Parkinson’s Excellence Network’s inaugural ‘winner of winners’ with the Excellence Award, recognising outstanding excellence in the sector. The team working at the JB-CFS feel privilege to be a part of delivering transformed care for older people in Hull. This is an amazing, varied opportunity for a Health Psychologist with interest in Parkinson’s disease and about caring for older and frail patients, who also has the drive to help further develop a high-profile service care within the community.
