The aim of a virtual ward is to reduce length of acute hospital stay and/or avoid hospital admission; this leads to quicker recovery and reduces disruption to patients', and their carers' lives. This means we can proactively manage people living with frailty at home, and for those that have a sub-acute episode we can improve a patient's experience and outcomes. In addition, this means we have more space in our hospitals for acutely unwell patients and reduces the pressure on urgent care. We have an exciting opportunity to support our Supported Early Discharge Pathways from the Acute Trust into Virtual Wards, working as a Senior Liaison Practitioner, joining our current team within Royal Stoke & County Hospital. This 6 month secondment is designed to support the safe transfer of care from Acute Hospital wards, portals and departments into a Virtual Ward.

Predominantly working across both Royal Stoke and County Hospital sites. The role is to act as the Senior Advanced Liaison Practitioner between the Acute Trust and Virtual Wards, in a \"pull\" function, to ensure the correct utilisation of Virtual Ward beds. Identifying suitable patients who may need ongoing Virtual care within their own homes, reviewing clinical diagnostics and decision making to ensure the safe transfer of care. Ensuring Medical Management plans are appropriate and in place for discharge. A vital aspect of this role will be to engage with, educate and empower hospital staff to identify suitable patients who meet the criteria for Virtual Ward care. Applicants will need the approval of their managers to be released from November 2024 into this post For further information please contact Lesley Roberts 0300 123 0983 or Lesley.roberts2@uhnm.nhs.uk About us For further information on this vacancy, please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification or contact the Hiring Manager.
