Description

Are you looking to be part of an exciting new model of care? CNWL is the lead organisation for the delivery of the Virtual Ward project in Milton Keynes.

Following the successful roll out of the first phase of the project, we are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse/Advanced Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Clinical Practitioner/Paramedic to join the team as the Virtual Ward Clinical Coordinator.

The Virtual Ward is a new and innovative integrated service with the aim to support people to receive the care they need at home, including in care homes, safely and conveniently rather than in hospital.

There is a growing evidence base that demonstrates patient, system and public benefits to the Virtual Ward model.

This is an opportunity to gain experience and shape the development of the new service for the future.

The role will involve working as part of a multidisciplinary team within the community and working collaboratively with other partners such as secondary care and social care.

The successful applicant will provide clinical leadership and line management to the Virtual Ward Team.

They will need to be dynamic, flexible and adaptable to ensure the provision of high quality, holistic evidence based care for patients on the virtual ward.

Lead and manage a multidisciplinary team to ensure the day to day operational delivery of highquality care for those patients admitted to the virtual ward. This role will include attendance at MDT and working across the wider health system to ensure the delivery of proactive management of this group of patients.
Be responsible for the remote monitoring of patients (using Doccla) across a variety of clinical pathways including respiratory and frailty
The Virtual Ward Coordinator will be responsible for overseeing caseload management, ensuring that service delivery is implemented to the highest standard inclusive of best practice and utilises a patient centred approach. Active case management will involve early identification of patients whose condition is at risk of becoming unstable or who needs increased monitoring.

We can offer regular 1:1 formal and informal supervision, a comprehensive induction and be able to participate in self directed learning, completion of competencies, training opportunities, collaborative working across Milton Keynes Community Health Services and QI project work.

You will have access to a laptop, mobile phone, uniform and have your mileage expenses paid for.
