The role involves working very closely with the Acute Frailty and Virtual Ward multidisciplinary team (MDT) and is a pivotal role in ensuring all patients within the Virtual Ward receive the best possible care and service. This exciting new post is available for a dynamic and experienced Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) with an interest to the provision of care to patients suffering from frailty. You will be required to work autonomously across the BHR area including within the Acute Frailty & emergency departments as well as visiting patients in care homes and in the community, providing a range of services using your enhanced clinical assessment and treatment skills, to assess and manage patients. The virtual ward will initially be patients who have been admitted to the virtual ward following transfer from an Acute Hospital ward however will develop to accept patients with direct admission from primary care and other community-based providers.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. We’re no longer in special measures; we’ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and, in recognition of our progress, we’ve been shortlisted for Trust of the Year at the Health Service Journal Awards.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
Our patients are benefitting from our Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub.
These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year.
The majority of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
