Job description

Job responsibilities

Please see the job description and person specification attached for further information on the role.

The West Suffolk Hospital is a District General Hospital built in 1974. It serves a population of around 280,000 in the western part of Suffolk and southern part of West Norfolk.

Medicine

West Suffolk Hospital has a 24 hour Accident and Emergency Department and a full range of Medical, Surgical and other specialties, with a total of around 480 beds. In addition, there is a Day Surgery Unit and a Hospice with a 10 bedded unit. Acute Medicine has 26 assessment beds and short stay ward of 34 beds including an Ambulatory Care Unit. There is a newly developed Cardiac Centre which opened in November 2018 with a wide range of facilities.

Virtual Ward

Delivery and development of Virtual Wards across all systems in England is a key part of national strategy as detailed in 2023/24 Priorities & Operational Planning Guidance paper published in January 2023.

The Virtual Ward in West Suffolk was launched on 28 November 2022 and since that date has accepted patients onto five clinical pathways: (i) respiratory including COPD (ii) frailty (iii) heart failure (iv) intravenous antibiotics and (v) acute kidney injury.

A core clinical and operational team has been established along with support from specialist pathway teams.

Capacity has increased to 40-45 beds and new pathways include general medicine and cellulitis.

Focus to date has been on identifying patients from the acute hospital (early supported discharge) with the ambition to extend access to step-ups from community and primary care teams during 2024.

Patients are based in their own homes with vital signs monitored via a wearable device and remote monitoring platform. Patient kit (including tablet and connection hub) enables monitoring and data transmission, video calls with the clinical team, task allocation, messaging/chat, and feedback via exit questionnaire.

Plans to scale up the Virtual Ward during 2024/25 are under development via expansion of current pathways and implementation of pathways in a number of new specialties.
