Senior Children's Community Nurse, Children's Hospital @ Home inSouthampton inSouthampton PUBLISHED 12 NOV 2024
Stand by, we'll show you...
Are you a Children's Nurse passionate that no child should be in hospital if care can be provided closer to home? Do you want to build on your clinical skills in the community?
Join our evolving Children's Hospital @ Home team! In collaboration with University Hospital Southampton NHS trust (UHS), the service works closely with the medical team at the hospital and GPs in the community to facilitate acute assessment with the aim to prevent & minimise admissions to hospital and facilitate early discharge where possible.
There's lots of training available to gain new and enhance existing skills and will be development opportunities available with future plans for ANPs within the team.
"We have an amazingly supportive team who work well together with the changing workload and demands. We have brilliant access to expert advice from consultant paediatricians, to support our clinical decisions. This service has so much potential to improve patient experience and outcomes." Senior Staff Nurse
"Leaving a job in a busy neonatal unit after 15 years was a daunting decision, but I'm very grateful I decided to apply. I am developing acute assessment skills, maintaining clinical skills and able to work autonomously. It's very rewarding to receive feedback from families where we have made a positive impact. The future is exciting!" Community Staff Nurse
