Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Sirona care & health CIC Full time

Job Summary

This is an exciting opportunity to provide clinical leadership to the Community Parkinson's Practitioner Service across the whole of BNSSG. The post holder will be key in the continued development of this role and service, acting as a fundamental resource for the team and working closely with system partners in health, social care, and the VCSE sector.

The Specialist Parkinson's Practitioner service provides high-quality specialist advice and support for individuals with Parkinson's disease, enabling them to manage their condition independently and preventing complications that can impact their quality of life.

The service focuses on seamless care, fostering strong communication and partnership working between different sectors, including acute, community, primary care, and voluntary services. This ensures that individuals with Parkinson's receive consistent support across all care settings, promoting self-management and reducing the burden on acute healthcare services.

Main Duties of the Job

The Parkinson's Practitioners are responsible for assessing, planning, implementing, and monitoring care for people with Parkinson's. This includes developing person-centred care plans based on best practices and evidence, providing specialist advice and support to patients and their families, and other healthcare professionals involved in their care.

Practitioners play a lead role in monitoring and developing the Parkinson's service to ensure it remains effective, safe, and sustainable. They work to ensure that care provided is of high quality and continuously improved, providing psychological and emotional support to patients and their families during high-stress situations or when managing changes in the patient's condition.

The service aims to reduce the need for acute care and emergency admissions by providing appropriate support and monitoring in the community, facilitating early hospital discharge when necessary. Practitioners contribute to the education and development of other healthcare staff, ensuring they are well-equipped to provide care to Parkinson's patients.

Practitioners contribute to clinical governance and are involved in audit and research activities, including supporting clinical trials and ensuring that the latest evidence-based practices are applied.
