About the Opportunity

This role presents a unique chance for a Registered Nurse to contribute their expertise to our integrated Virtual Ward, enhancing patient care in the community.

The Acute Medicine Specialist Nurse position has been established to address the increasing demands of the local community for a diverse multidisciplinary team. This role encompasses various areas and modalities, with the potential to complete an advanced practice module after a suitable period in the position.

Virtual wards offer a safe and effective alternative to traditional NHS bedded care, allowing patients who would typically require hospitalization to receive necessary acute care and treatment in their homes. This approach aims to prevent unnecessary admissions and support timely discharges.

The integration of digitally enabled care, including virtual wards, is a national priority reflected in current health and social care policies.

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