Clinical Nurse Specialist Band 7- Frailty - Romford, United Kingdom - Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust
Description
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen on Frailty Virtual Ward, for a Band 7 Clinical Nurse Specialist - Frailty.
Frailty Virtual Ward is a 30 bedded capacity community base service that aim to support patients, who would otherwise be in hospital, to receive acute care, remote monitoring and treatment they need in their usual place of residence.
You will be expected to support their team, department and organisation to achieve both trusts' values in their day-to-day work. The role involves working very closely with Acute Frailty and Virtual Ward multidisciplinary team (MDT) and is a pivotal role in ensuring all patients within the Virtual Ward receive the best possible care and service.
You will be required to work autonomously across the BHR area including within the Acute Frailty & emergency departments as well as visiting patients in care homes and in the community, providing a range of services using your enhanced clinical assessment and treatment skills, to assess and manage patients.
The virtual ward will initially be for patients who have been admitted to the virtual ward following discharge from an Acute Hospital ward however will develop to accept patients with direct admission from primary care and other community-based providers.
You needs to have a good knowledge base around the needs of all of these patients. You will be expected to demonstrate excellent communication and motivational skills in order to continue the excellent team work currently displayed.
Main duties of the job
Expectations will include continuing with creating a ward that is supportive to all staff but particularly those that are new and junior and to also continue to develop an environment of quality and innovation, encouraging independent thinking and creativity.
Arrange services and support with other healthcare providers. Act as a referral agent by establishing multi agency collaboration across primary/ secondary interface to meet the needs of the patient, including social needs.
Perform point of care testing and obtain supporting information to inform the assessment of an individual.
Provide clinical interpretation from clinical investigations and determine a treatment plan for an individual.
Autonomously make a diagnosis and care management decisions based on interpretation of results, ensuring that optimum physical and psychological needs are met and are ethically based.
Competently carry out a wide variety of procedures and interventions which require advanced levels of knowledge and skills requiring dexterity and accuracy.
Prioritise individuals for further assessment, treatment and care, including prioritising own workload on a daily basis to meet needs of the service and prioritising patients based on clinical need and escalating appropriately to colleagues for assistance with workload, if patient care would otherwise be compromised.
About us
We provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. Most of our 7,800 permanent staff live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals and we operate from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Community Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic.
We're pleased to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The Elective Surgical Hub at King George Hospital is one of eight to be accredited as part of a national scheme; the Care Quality Commission has raised the ratings forurgent and emergency careat Queen's and King George hospitals; anddata released by NHS Englandshowed that the Trust was the most improved in 2023 for reducing waits for emergency care.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We're also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
