Summary
To provide effective nursing care for patients in their own homes and other community settings supporting the Urgent Community Response and NHS@Home teams. The focus of this service will be to provide a
multidisciplinary response that requires an assessment and clinical management plan within a set time frame, helping to prevent admission to secondary care and promote early discharge from hospital. To work closely with the teams who provide planned and unplanned care and develop strong working relationships with the GP, multidisciplinary teams, and social care services in the delivery of care. To ensure that the care provided maintains the dignity and respect of the individual and promotes their
comfort, wellbeing, and independence at all times.

Maintaining care for patients in the home environment is what we aspire to achieve, avoiding inappropriate transfer to hospital and promoting and facilitating effective discharge from hospital back into the home environment. With the appropriate level of clinical skill, training and support you will develop and embed the skills and confidence to work autonomously with patients in their own home, with support from the wider experienced team. This role would be suitable for a Registered General nurse who is looking to develop or expand their transferable skills within the community setting.
