Job Summary:

A new opportunity has opened in the Joint Emergency Team as we are now expanding due to overseeing a pioneering initiative to create a Virtual Ward in the community.
This will ensure patients can have access to the acute treatment they need, with the right clinical oversight in their homes, without having to be in situ within the Hospital.
This is aligned with the focus on admission avoidance and the Home First Agenda, as we know that where possible, people both prefer and respond well to being in their own homes.

At the point that they are discharged from the virtual ward they may need social care support to facilitate their recovery and ensure that they have the right support in place to remain safely in their homes, with a focus on enabling them to be as independent as possible.
