About the Opportunity

This role presents a unique chance for a Registered Nurse to contribute their expertise to our integrated Virtual Ward. The position of Specialist Nurse in Acute Medicine has been established to address the increasing demands of the local community for a versatile multidisciplinary team. The role encompasses working across various areas and modalities, with the potential to complete an advanced practice module after a suitable period in the position.

The Virtual Ward serves as a safe and effective alternative to traditional NHS inpatient care, allowing patients who would typically require hospitalization to receive necessary acute care and treatment in their own homes. This approach aims to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and support timely discharges.

This position, as part of a multidisciplinary team, offers an opportunity to drive transformation within the healthcare system by incorporating digital technology to alleviate pressure on acute care services and enhance patient outcomes.

Work Schedule: The role requires flexibility, including working days, weekends, and bank holidays.
