Job overview

Please note this role is currently only being advertised to staff members who are currently working within the Kent and Medway ICS.

In this role, you will be responsible for remotely monitoring patients and delivering treatment and care using cutting-edge technology through a Virtual Ward. The Virtual Ward serves as a central monitoring hub connecting various divisions within the organisation, offering opportunities for you to expand your expertise in medicine, orthopaedics, surgery and many more.

Your responsibilities will be divided between the monitoring hub and collaborative efforts across different sites, where you will educate and support colleagues in utilising the Virtual Ward service. The Virtual Ward provides several advantages for patients, enabling them to receive treatments and monitoring from the convenience of their homes.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Remote monitoring of patients' observations and coordinating treatments
  • Coordinating transfer of care
  • Regular video calls with patients, akin to Microsoft Office Teams, on a daily basis.
  • Escalation of concerns and prioritisation of patient needs following established pathways and protocols.
  • Collaboration with specialists to identify patients eligible for transfer to the Virtual Ward.
  • Cooperative efforts with partners at KCHFT to enhance collaborative patient care.
    Dedicated commitment to the organisation's mission and objectives.
