System Virtual Ward Clinical Lead - Colchester, United Kingdom - NHS Suffolk and North East Essex ICB
Description
Are you a clinician who is frustrated by the numbers of patients in hospital that could be safely looked after at home? SNEE ICS are recruiting a Clinical lead who can provide up to 2 PA (1 day) per week for six months to develop a virtual ward strategic framework and to accelerate the use of virtual wards to care for the right patients in the right place.
Inclusivity and accessibility are vital to us; we will make any reasonable adjustments necessary to make it easy for you to apply, and to work with us.
Virtual wards are intended to provide safe and effective care at home for patients who would otherwise be in a hospital bed, either by reducing avoidable admissions or facilitating earlier supported discharge.
There is an opportunity to optimise care and potentially improve outcomes as well as freeing hospital capacity, creating potential staffing efficiencies, and providing more personalised, convenient care for patients.
SNEE ICS currently has 80 virtual ward beds available across the system we have an ambition of providing 450 virtual ward beds by April 2024
The current national models include virtual ward services for people with frailty and acute respiratory infections but there is recognition that in some areas clinical leaders have gone further to include heart failure, diabetes, end of life care and the national team is working with national clinical directors to develop the virtual ward pipeline and guidance.
