Description
We have an exciting opportunity for a Nurse Practitioner to join us in the Urgent Community Response/Virtual Ward Team.

We are looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic practitioner to support the delivery of the 2 hour Urgent Community Response and Virtual Ward mandates to improve out of hospital care and support the management of patients in their own home.

The team provides urgent care to people in their homes which helps to avoid hospital admissions and enable people to live independently for longer. The team enables older people and adults with complex health needs who urgently need care, to get fast access to a range of health and social care professionals within two hours.

It is an exciting time to join us as we expand the Virtual Ward/Hospital at Home service.

Virtual wards provide hospital level care and remote monitoring in patients homes allowing them to stay at home where they are most comfortable.

There is emerging evidence to show that patients have better outcomes when treated at home, rather than being treated in hospital.

The post will work alongside a multidisciplinary team consisting of GP's, ACP's Senior Nurses, Therapists and Health Care Assistants utilising digital technology.

The role of the Nurse Practitioner will be to assesses, plan, implement and review patients in their own home using research and evidence based knowledge to underpin practice and support avoiding a hospital admission.

Monitor and improve standards of care through supervision of practice, clinical audit, evidence based practice, learning and development and the provision of skilled clinical leadership
