                                                    Senior Liaison Practitioner ACAH with University Hospital of North Midlands NHS Trust in Stoke on Trent

                                                     6 month Secondment - commencing November 2024   Our General Acute Medicine and Frailty Virtual Ward is a new and innovative service, that has an agreed admission criteria and works in partnership with supporting care services to deliver acute care in the patient's own home. 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 &amp; 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. Working closely with the Virtual Ward Matrons to deliver Case Management, Bed Management and Acuity Management of the patients suitable for Supported Early Discharge. 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.
