Summary
VFC is part of the orthopaedics trauma pathway. We work with the Emergency Department, radiologists and Orthopaedic Teams to manage patients and play a key role in managing patients to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions. We work to ensure patients are seen by the right specialities in a timely manner to ensure the best recovery from their injury. We contact patients by phone and email. It is fast paced, and the case load is variable dependent predominantly on referrals from the Emergency department. You will learn a lot about acute management of fractures. We sometimes join, and contribute to, teaching sessions with the Extended Nurse Practitioners or the Junior doctors. We have a daily ward round with one of the orthopaedic consultants and use a digital system called e-trauma. We are based at Worthing Hospital but also cover St Richards Hospital, Chichester (currently, the prospective candidate would cover St Richards hospital once a fortnight), there is some scope for home working. We would expect you to be comfortable using a computer and be IT literate. Post-graduate experience working in MSK is essential as is experience in supporting or supervising students or junior staff. Experience in Orthopaedics or Emergency care or a Virtual Clinic is desirable. Normal working hours are 8.30 16.30 Monday to Friday, there is some limited flexibility with these hours, subject to service needs and prior discussion. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this or have any other questions about the role s.sokota@nhs.net
