Remote Monitoring Hub Clinical Lead Practitioner - Band 8a

Our vision is for the people of Croydon to experience well-co-ordinated care and support in the most appropriate setting, which is truly person-centred and helps them to maintain their independence.

As demand rises with increasing health needs and advances in clinical care, we are responding to the challenges whilst continuing to deliver the highest quality of care. We are developing the services that we currently provide to reduce hospital admissions and to facilitate earlier discharge from hospital through the use of technology, ensuring patients have the safest best care that is delivered in their home environment via the Croydon Remote Monitoring Hub (Virtual Ward).

The Virtual Ward service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on site.

You will act as an expert and collaborative advanced practitioner who will provide advice, education and support for patients, families and members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team. A key emphasis of the role is to empower staff to provide best practice for patients and to work as an effective role model.

You will work autonomously with a patient caseload holder within the SWL remote monitoring team (virtual ward). The Virtual Ward Clinical Lead Practitioner will provide a pathway to diagnosis and management. As an advanced practitioner appropriate referral for investigations, treatment and management will be facilitated and initiated.

The post holder will frame their practice within the four sub roles of expert practice, professional leadership and consultancy, education, training and development, practice/service development, research and evaluation.

The Virtual Ward Clinical Lead Practitioner will support and enhance partnership working across secondary care, community and primary care teams to optimise the services that our patients can access. They should also consult at an expert level on the central and local MDT clinics. The post holder should represent the virtual ward at regional and pan London networks where appropriate to ensure up-to-date delivery, promote the virtual ward services within the sector and engage in shared learning.

Croydon Health Services NHS Trust provide hospital and community services from a number of community and specialist clinics throughout Croydon. The Trust was formed on 1st August 2010 through the integration of Croydon Community Health Services and Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust. Around 4,100 staff provide services for a population of over 360,000 people who are relatively young with a high level of ethnic diversity.

Our main hospital site, Croydon University Hospital is one of the busiest in London. We’re also leading the way in providing more healthcare outside hospitals at clinics, specialist centres and in people’s homes. Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon and our Children’s Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital.

Across the NHS everyone is working hard to meet growing demand and we’re no exception. But with the right people on board, we are rising to this challenge, putting our people in the driving seat, encouraging innovation and transforming our services to give local people the quality of care they deserve.
