Croydon, United Kingdom Croydon Health Services NHS Trust Full time

Fixed term 12 months maternity cover, 37.5 hours per week
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 Virtual Ward.

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

The post holder will provide a high standard, efficient, cost-effective Virtual Ward service to patients with a range of acute and chronic conditions hosted by Croydon Health Services NHS Trust in partnership with acute and community health service providers in Kingston and Richmond, Merton and Wandsworth, and Sutton. The South West London Remote Monitoring Team (virtual ward) will provide 40-50 virtual beds per 100,000 population across South West London. Patients with a range of acute and chronic conditions will be remotely monitored. This is to support patient discharges from hospital, prevent avoidable in-patient admissions and reduce pressure on inpatient bed capacity whilst maintaining standards of care that are
equivalent to those in hospital. The post holder will act as a support for the Virtual Ward team members in monitoring patients who are
under the care of the Virtual Ward. The post holder will be line managed by, and will work closely with, the SWL Virtual Ward team to ensure that there is an effective clinical service for the Virtual Ward Service.
The post holder will be working at Croydon Health Services NHS Trust site.

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.
