You will be a key member of the team as it develops new ways of working to deliver the Enhanced Care in Care Homes framework. The team are working closely across Sandwell to join up pathways and ways of working across partner organisations.
You will work closely with Primary Care, Public Health, Social Care and of course the care homes as a key partner. You will be supported by a diverse MDT, Advanced Clinical Practitioners and Community Matrons as well as the wider Integrated Care Service (iCares) which works across Sandwell Community providing rehabilitation, case management and admission avoidance.
Reporting to Community Matron's and Advanced Clinical Practitioner for the service, the post holder will be an autonomous practitioner responsible for developing and implementing service provision within the care homes across the borough of Sandwell.
The post holder will have continuing responsibility for managing both proactive and reactive visits within the care home setting, managing patients with long term conditions, recognising signs of deterioration and escalating that accordingly. Having an awareness of disease exacerbation and treating as required. Reducing inappropriate hospital admissions. Linking in with the wider MDT to provide safe and effective care.
