Are you an experienced Clinical Practitioner who would like to work within a community based MDT, having a passion for supporting patient care and keen to make a difference?
Do you want to support the future development of a new 'Hospital at Home' service in South Manchester?
We are looking for an enthusiastic Clinical Practitioner who wants to join a newly developed and forward thinking service supporting patients to stay at home, reducing the need for hospital admission.
The Clinical Practitioner may work between our Hospital at Home and Urgent Care Crisis Response Team. The Hospital at Home service enables patients to receive safe, effective treatment at home for up to 14 days. They will provide medical assessments at home alongside our GPs and ACPs, with overall care under a hospital consultant. We receive referrals from community services, NWAS, 111, GPs and ED deflections with a focus on keeping patients safe at home where possible.
As a confident communicator with strong organisational skills, you will thrive in an MDT environment and will be instrumental in supporting and developing this new service, to ensure a high-quality service for our patients. With a passion for continuous development and service improvement, you will be involved in projects and trust initiatives. You will receive regular supervision, in-service training, and support.
Main duties of the job
1. Undertake comprehensive health care needs assessment of patients, reassessing as appropriate.
2. Assess, plan, prioritise, implement and evaluate nursing interventions to meet patients' needs.
3. Contribute to the organisation of multi-disciplinary, patient-centred care.
4. Facilitate patients, relatives and carers to take an active role in care given, providing information as appropriate to facilitate effective discharge.
5. Using your experience and knowledge, you will support other team members to ensure we deliver a high-quality service for our patients, providing education and support as needed.
6. You will also have the opportunity to work across hospital and community whilst developing key links and networks with acute and community colleagues.
