Job overview
We are looking for enthusiastic, innovative and engaging Band 5 NMC Registered Nurses who have a passion for the delivery of high-quality patient care within the community to join our Acute Care at Home – Virtual Wards.
Our Virtual Ward is a new and innovative service which offers face to face acute care in the patient’s own home. The Virtual Ward has an agreed admission criteria which works in partnership with supporting care services and the aim of the service is to reduce length of acute hospital stay and/or avoid hospital admission; this leads to quicker recovery and reduces disruption to patients’, and their carers’ lives. This means we can proactively manage people living with frailty at home, and for those that have a sub-acute episode we can improve a patient’s experience and outcomes. In addition, this means we have more space in our hospitals for acutely unwell patients and reduces the pressure on urgent care.
