In addition to being an expert in your field in possession of extended competencies including vacuum assisted closure & syringe driver management, you will need to demonstrate excellent communication skills to elicit an accurate, holistic assessment of patient needs as part of a case management approach. We offer training and support for a Health Coaching approach to move towards greater engagement with our patient population regarding self-management, particularly in those with long-term conditions.
As part of the role, you will be required to work within a dedicated referral centre and will possess well-developed critical thinking & negotiating skills to aid the decision-making & triage process. You will be responsible for managing a defined caseload of patients with delegated responsibilities to your Band 5 nursing team to support continuity of care for patients as part of the nursing model of care. Prior experience with electronic patient record IT systems (e.g., Systm One) is advantageous; however, full support and training will be given.
You will be keenly aware of the importance of collaborative working and have some understanding of the services and other professions within the newly merged Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, including our own Therapy colleagues within the ICT (Integrated Community Team), GP surgeries, Rapid Response, and Complex Care at Home, ensuring the right care is delivered at the right time, by the right professional for patients.
