Job summary
The BNSSG NHS@Home service is a ground-breaking joint initiative by local NHS organisations that offers hospital-standard care and remote monitoring in an individuals home, providing an alternative to hospital admission, or helping them to return home promptly and safely following an inpatient stay. This is an exciting opportunity to join an emerging service and work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to keep people comfortable, where they feel safe and can be with their loved ones.
As a team we are blending medical innovation with bespoke care, bridging the gap between hospital and home. A virtual ward is a safe and efficient alternative to NHS bedded care that is enabled by technology and home visits. This innovative approach enables us to deliver safe, high quality and personalised care to people at home where they would rather be.
We know that people recover faster and better in their own environments and our dedicated teams of trained staff endeavour to support this. A hybrid model of virtual, telephone and face to face consultations can be delivered as required, allowing patients to recover in their own home with continued clinical support.
The Hub team currently provides support for Respiratory, Frailty, Heart Failure and Home IV patients, with the desire to develop and expand further pathways
