Job description
Job responsibilities
The service aims to provide high quality nursing care which enables early, safe planned discharge from hospital and prevents unnecessary admissions.
The Children's Hospital @ Home team provides specialist nursing care, support and co-ordination of care; predominantly to children and young people with short-term acute health care needs requiring urgent care pathways. Our care is led by Wessex Healthier Together. As a service we work closely with University Hospital Southampton. CH@H delivers service promotion to all referrers across the region including GP Surgeries, Children's Emergency Department, Paediatric Short Stay Unit and Paediatric Wards. Support is provided to children and families via telephone calls, video calls and home visits.
The Children's Community Nursing Team provides high quality holistic, family centred nursing care for children, young people and families with short and long term conditions, disabilities, complex health conditions, continuing care needs, life limiting and life-threatening illness, including palliative and end of life care needs with use of a 24/7 rota when required.
The Staff Nurse is responsible for the ongoing assessment of care needs and the development, implementation and evaluation of care. The provision of skilled nursing care for children, including those with palliative care needs in their own homes and giving advice and support to the family is essential in this role.
Our service is a link between Primary, Secondary and Tertiary care, Community Paediatricians, Therapists, Public Health Nurses, Education settings, Children's Services and voluntary organisations to support and encourage the development of partnership working and a seamless patient journey. Care is delivered in the community location that is the most appropriate for that child or young person home, school, respite centre with an objective to help the children and young people and their families achieve their full potential and live as full a life as possible.
The CH@H and CCN Teams work closely together and support each other as needed to deliver high quality care to patients. Both roles entail a high level of autonomy, independent caseload working and clinical decision making.
