    If so, we have a fantastic opportunity for a registered professional to bring their demonstrable experience and proven knowledge to the integrated Virtual Ward Team.

    Virtual ward is a safe and efficient alternative to NHS bedded care.

    Virtual wards support patients who would otherwise be in hospital to receive the acute care and treatment they need in their own home.

    This includes either preventing avoidable admissions into hospital or supporting early discharge out of hospital.

    The delivery of digitally enabled care (virtual care) including virtual wards is a national priority embedded within current health and social care policy.

    In the priorities and operational planning guidance, systems were asked to deliver virtual ward capacity equivalent to 40-50 virtual ward 'beds' per 100k population by December 2023.

    This post provides an opportunity to drive and transform the system by embedding the use of digital technology to release pressure on acute care and improve patient outcomes.


    Preference will be given to internal Trust staff, as well as 'Priority' and 'At Risk' status including NHS At Risk staff throughout Devon who are able to display recent relevant experience as dictated by the Person Specification.

    As we move towards a new era of integrated care and working collaboratively across organisational boundaries, the need for dynamic, focused clinical leadership is vital.

    A key part of the role is to act a recognised expert clinician to support the development of various virtual clinical remote monitoring pathways, the first 3 pathways will include frailty, respiratory and acute medicine, and support community teams and hospitals to understand the benefits of Virtual Wards therefore embedding it as a safe alternative to inpatient treatment.

    Within your role, you will carry out the assessment, planning and implementation of nursing care and evaluation of virtual ward interventions to meet the needs of the patients most effectively, working with the Acute Medical Nursing Team.

    The successful applicant will work closely with the Virtual Ward Manager but will link in with Acute Medicine Matron and Operational Manager as well as key stakeholders including Primary care, Community Services, Acute hospital services and others to develop services.
