Description

This post is for a Specialist Practitioner on our Virtual Hub, which is a permanent full time role (37.5 hours) across Monday to Sunday with no on-call requirement.


An exciting opportunity has arisen with the investment of Virtual Care Technology at WWL, to join an innovative Virtual Hub team, that enhances 'hospital-without-walls' care provision close to home.

Virtual Care in the Community allows our patients to receive the care they need in their own home, safely & conveniently as an alternative to hospital.

Using community 'wrap-around' services our aim is to provide opportunities to prevent hospital admission, facilitate early discharge, ability to detect deterioration earlier in health condition to prevent readmission to hospital.

NHS experience is essential. An Enhanced DBS with Children's and Adults' Barred List checks will be obtained during pre-employment checks.

The Specialist Practitioner holds responsibility in the coordination of monitoring & management of the daily Virtual Hub Caseload.

They should be expert in all areas of nursing care from patient admission to discharge, which facilitates clinical practice development.

They actively support the Digital Ward Leader, ensuring the effective running of the daily caseload in their absence.

They provide daily clinical and managerial leadership to nursing/AHP and support staff in the delivery of high standard, evidence based patient centred care.

They are responsible for ensuring all care is delivered according to Trust policies and procedures.

Utilising clinical audit, research, supervision of practice and teaching, they monitor and improve standards of care by efficient and effective use of resources.

There is scope for this service to become 24/7.
