Summary
This is an exciting opportunity to support adults with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), who live in Enfield. As part of service transformation work and investment from the ICB this post has been created to work across services to provide a link between primary and secondary care, local charities, the voluntary sector and other key stakeholders in order to support high quality evidence based seamless patient care and management.
After several years of ever closer working, North Mid and Royal Free London are planning to come together as one organisation to enable them to go further and faster in improving services for patients and the health of the local community than they can achieve separately. The merger of North Mid into the RFL group is currently expected to take place on 1 January 2025, subject to NHS England and Secretary of State approval.
To lead the co-ordination of care and service development for all patients with motor neurone disease within the London Borough of Enfield. To ensure that they and their carers receive quality assured multi-disciplinary care, support and experience within agreed protocols and allocated resources, at the point of referral to a general neurologist and throughout their journey with the condition. This includes working with and co-ordinating care via a multi-disciplinary MND Care team including colleagues from neurology, respiratory, speech and language, nutrition and dietetics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, palliative care, social care and the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND Association).
North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICS’s, we are working increasingly closely with partners and indeed many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level. Whilst all organisations remain as standalone, statutory bodies we have an ICS infrastructure for making shared decisions and agreeing shared approaches.
We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George’s University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
