Band 7 Lead Discharge Nurse Specialist
4 weeks ago
Job Overview
Job Summary:
The post holder will work in partnership with colleagues in the acute sector, social services, continuing care, community services, and the Voluntary Community Sector to ensure that patients identified are assessed and transferred safely to appropriate community-based services in a timely and seamless manner.
As a key point of contact and subject matter expert, the post holder will support with complex discharge queries and ensure smooth daily operations as a case manager.
Main Duties of the Job
Facilitate discharge from the acute hospitals to the patient's own home, completing an assessment of ongoing needs and following the key home first principles:
- We should not define people's long-term needs within a hospital setting.
- If the patient is admitted from their own home, then they should be discharged directly back to their own home wherever possible – it must always be the aim and initial focus/consideration.
- There should be no delay in getting people home or to the next step immediately, since it can be detrimental to their long-term health outcomes.
- Assessments are more contextualized outside a hospital environment, especially within the person's own home or when they have had the chance to recover.
- If after-care services are required, a rehabilitation or recovery approach must always be considered first.
- Ongoing care and trusted handover should underpin all steps.
Act as a key point of contact for acute clinicians, including consultants, other members of the team, and community-based clinicians/services.
