Rapid Response Sister

4 months ago

Luton, United Kingdom Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust Full time

We are expanding our Rapid Response Community Nursing Team to meet the new Urgent Community Response (UCR) and Virtual Ward requirements. This brings an exciting opportunity for experienced and skilled Registered Nurses to join the team. The Rapid Response Team is an established and successful team that provide high quality nursing care to the people of Luton to enable them to maximize their health status, minimize the effects of ill health and disability, and to lead as independent a life as possible.

We take referrals from GPs, Paramedics, local Hospitals, and Specialist Community Teams for patients experiencing an acute health crisis. We aim to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions by assessing patients, developing care plans and liaising with other services as needed.

We implement existing pathways such as IV therapy, Cellulitis, COPD, chest infection and heart failure to provide evidence-based care. Virtual Wards are a national initiative that will support patients who would otherwise be in a hospital setting to remain in their own home environment.

This will be supported with the use of digital technology, monitoring, supporting the setting up of equipment and providing patient care and the treatment they need. It is expected that patients will move between UCR and Virtual Ward pathways.

The Team also supports patients under the care of the District Nursing teams by providing unscheduled care out of hours to patients across the Luton area.

Support the provision of community nursing care within the Integrated Community Nursing Team, providing scheduled and unscheduled care, to the population of Luton with a Luton GP.

As a member of the team, you will contribute to the continuing service development and delivery of our ambition for teams to work more closely together, support periods of high demand and develop new ways of working in clinical triage, patient assessment, and care delivery ensuring person centred holistic care is delivered.

Respond to urgent / unplanned care within the Community Nursing Service by prioritising, visiting or allocating patient visits as required using clinical skills and knowledge, supporting community nursing teams when required.

Support the single point of access providing Clinical Nurse Triage.

Work in partnership with other colleagues across primary and secondary care and other related services in order to provide a holistic care package designed to meet the specific needs of the individual, to facilitate hospital discharge and or prevent unnecessary hospital admission.

Work with the team lead in providing clinical leadership within the Community Nursing Service, providing line management and team support when required.

Work with other agencies to deliver strategic national and local health priorities.

Rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, we are proud to provide high quality innovative services across most of the east of England that enable people to receive care closer to home and live healthier lives.

There’s one reason why our services are outstanding - and that’s our amazing staff - who, for the seventh year running, rated us incredibly highly in the national staff survey.

Prevent avoidable hospital admissions by providing a holistic assessment, care planning, implementation, treatment and evaluation of patient care packages to meet the individual needs of the patient in accordance with Trust guidelines.

Support the aversion of hospital admission by assessing, organising and delivering specialised care packages for patients discharged into the care of the team.

Undertake core nursing assessments and procedures as required whilst attending the patient e.g. wound dressing, observations, pressure area care, risk assessments e.g. Purpose T, MUST.

Undertake highly developed physical skills e.g. delivery of intravenous therapy, cannulation, syringe driver, catheterisation.

Undertake diagnostic procedures/tests as required and to, when competent to do so, gain a full insight into patients’ condition, e.g. ECGs, phlebotomy, spirometry, blood glucose testing.

Undertake responsibility for prescribing medication where applicable in line with independent nurse prescribing guidelines following accredited training and competence.

If you have a non-medical prescribing qualification, you will be expected to practice as a prescriber as part of this role.

To be confident in using these skills & nursing knowledge to work autonomously to plan and implement episodes of care, referring appropriately to other services to support the plan of care as required.

Respond to urgent calls from health and social care professionals and utilise sound clinical decision making and triage processes to assess, plan and implement evidence based treatment plans in response to clinical assessment.

Assess and prioritise unscheduled requests for nursing intervention and allocation to the appropriately skilled clinician.

Ensure at all times patients are treated
