  • Develop personalized, evidence-based care plans in partnership with patients, promoting long-term management of their conditions and encouraging adherence to treatment protocols.
  • Review respiratory medications for efficacy and appropriateness, adhering to established clinical guidelines and protocols.
  • Provide cognitive assessments and identify mental health needs, coordinating with multidisciplinary colleagues as necessary.
  • Facilitate community-based care by working alongside other health and social care providers to meet individual patient needs.
  • Identify and address social isolation, connecting patients with resources to encourage active community engagement.
  • Utilize effective communication skills to build strong relationships with patients, families, and caregivers.
  • Recognize and respond to health deterioration promptly to mitigate risks of rapid decline or unnecessary hospital admissions.
  • Educate patients and caregivers on recognizing early signs of health deterioration to enable swift management of potential complications.
  • Support early hospital discharge for case-managed patients by coordinating care and services within the community.
  • Identify patients with complex health needs and refer them for comprehensive interdisciplinary assessments.
