Virtual Ward is coming to Norfolk Integrated Care System with its main aim of keeping patients at home during acute illness and therefore avoiding unnecessary hospital admission. This is a technological assisted approach with remote monitoring capabilities with a focus on patients with respiratory disease, frailty and heart failure.

This is a face to face model (also referred to as 'hospital at home') therefor a multidisciplinary approach is required.

As the Band 4 Registered Nursing Associate you will be instrumental in on-boarding our patients onto the Virtual Ward across Norwich. Your role will involve performing an initial face to face assessment, undertaking investigations such as blood tests and observations/NEWS scoring, setting up the remote monitoring system and sharing information with each patient about the Virtual Ward process, contact details and what to do if they require help and support.

You will be part of a wider clinical team led by an Advanced Clinical Practitioner and together you will manage the Virtual Ward patients on the caseload by providing clinical face to face care, remote observations and contact via telephone.

A full training package will be offered to you on commencement of your employment as we aim to be innovative and fast thinking with our approach to caring for people at home who would otherwise be in hospital.
