Virtual Ward Assistant Practitioner

Are you an Assistant Practitioner or Nursing Associate and looking for a new challenge? Would you like the opportunity to work for Unplanned Community Services within Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust? Then look no further as an exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Virtual ward team in North Lincolnshire.
This post will cover the whole of North Lincolnshire under the guidance of the Frailty ACP's and Virtual Ward coordinators.
The local ambition is to bring all strands to work together across an agreed integrated Virtual Ward pathway moving from an individual provider focus to a system-wide approach. The aim is to improve efficiency and patient experience whilst reducing demand on acute hospital inpatient beds.
Where it is safe and appropriate to do so, the virtual ward will provide acute clinical care at home (including care homes) with treatment and monitoring for people who would have previously been treated and monitored as inpatients in a hospital bed.
You must be flexible, caring, and professional and have the ability to remain calm under pressure.
The Virtual ward assistant practitioner is an integral part of the Virtual ward team providing quality nursing care to patients in the community.
Duties will include unsupervised delegated nursing duties as defined by the Virtual ward coordinator/ACP, you will work alone developing and maintaining effective channels of communication with other professionals and agencies.
The Nursing Associate/Assistant Practitioner will be proficient and competent and work within their scope of practice as governed by the NMC Code (2018) and NMC Standards of Proficiency (2018).
The Nursing Associate/Assistant Practitioner will provide holistic and person centred care and support for people in their care.
The Nursing Associate/Assistant Practitioner may be expected to participate in audits and service improvement initiatives. The Nursing Associate/Assistant Practitioner will be expected to supervise and support HCAs, Trainee Nursing Associates and Pre-registration nurses.
It is anticipated that this role will continue to develop through the acquisition of further skills based on NMC (2018) guidelines and development of the Nursing Associate role.
