Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CFT) is excited to offer an opportunity for a Staff Nurse within our Camborne and Redruth Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) and Community Assessment and Treatment Unit (CATU).
Are you passionate about providing high quality patient care and would like to be part of this new development in the patient pathway?
Do you enjoy acute nursing and dynamic patient flow? The CATU/SDEC model is an innovative and dynamic patient pathway of which a key aspect is the assessment of the acute patient and treatment of symptoms aiming to return the patient to their home with the right support. You will be empowered to utilise a range of nursing skills (supported by training) to support patients through a clinical admission, assessment, and ongoing treatment.
You should possess commitment to team working and innovative delivery of excellent standards of care. You will need to be able to demonstrate a real enthusiasm for using extended skills and a desire for on-going professional development.
Main duties of the job:
1. To take direct referrals to the Same Day Emergency Care and Community Assessment and Treatment units which assess and treat as appropriate people living with frailty. The aim of the post holder is to co-ordinate the triage, arrivals, and management of the patient group within a multidisciplinary team to support alternatives to admission.
2. Deliver patient care in a dynamic setting supporting people to return to their own homes where possible which requires working collaboratively with admission avoidance colleagues in Virtual Ward and community partners to provide the right support to do so.
3. To act as a role model in assessing, planning, implementing, evaluating, and delivering a high standard of individualised care to patients and their carers while on the ward, or when appropriate throughout the hospital.
