An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time permanent post as a Discharge Coordinator on Ward F19.

Ward F19 is a 28 bed Trauma and Orthopaedic ward. Our patients may require further community input from varied specialist teams due to the nature of their injury. These teams can include social care and therapy services.

This role requires staff to work closely with the multi-professional team on Ward F19, Trauma and Orthopaedics and the wider NUH team.

The aim of the role is to ensure that all patients are tracked through their ward stay, to ensure timely discharge including highlighting any escalations where necessary.

The post holder will have awareness of and know how escalate delays along a patient’s journey, working with the ward team, Integrated Discharge Team and Bronze on Call as required to minimise these. The post holder will support the Nurse in Charge and bay nurses to complete any non-clinical tasks which may expedite the patient journey, thereby releasing nursing staff to better support the ward and care for their patients.

Delays to work through will include waits for diagnostic scan, wait for clinical review of reported scan, wait for completion of TTO, and wait for discharge following TTO. Actions the post holder will implement to reduce delays will include liaising directly with the clinical staff on the ward, liaising with diagnostic specialties, booking transport, and speaking with patients and relatives.

The post holder will work proactively, pre-empting delays where possible, and helping to plan for discharge when a patient is ‘maybe-home’.
