Are you looking for an autonomous role, where you can continue to help shape the future of our community same day services?
Are you passionate about helping avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and caring for and treating our patients in their place of residence?
Are you interested in joining us as a Specialist Practitioner (SP)?
Our Urgent Community Response (UCR) Service provides rapid assessment, diagnostics and treatment in a person's home as an alternative to hospital admission. It is suitable for people who are in crisis and who need intervention within two hours to prevent hospital admission (where safe to do so).
UCR is delivered by a multi-professional team with access to specialist medical support where necessary to agree a management plan.
Main duties of the job
As a successful Specialist Practitioner (SP) clinician within UCR 2hr service you will be embedded within the Community Same Day Response Teams which include Same Day Emergency Units, Falls Specialist Services, Hospital at Home and Community Therapy Service, District Nursing Service. However, you will have the opportunity to work across many facets of Community services and with the Out of Hours services.
The role provides the successful clinician with a rare opportunity to work within our community services to test, inform and finesse the continued development of the Urgent Community Response service.
As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will work autonomously to provide a high-quality service to patients managing undifferentiated and undiagnosed conditions, using, developing and consolidating advanced clinical skills.
You will work collaboratively with the team and external providers, to ensure the right care, by the right person, at the right time and in the right place.
Your aim will be to enable individuals to maintain or regain independence or ensure a plan is in place for them to achieve their optimum personal potential and to prevent unnecessary hospital admission.
You will support a learning environment that fosters a culture of clinical expertise and act as a role model and mentor to advanced skills learners from all community services and teams.
