Crynodeb
An exciting opportunity has arisen as we develop the delivery of Virtual Wards across the Morecambe Bay Footprint.
We are seeking Consultant Practitioners to provide Consultant practitioner level oversight and to support ongoing development of the service alongside our Clinical Lead, Advanced Clinical Practitioners and Multidisciplinary Team.
The Virtual Wards care for acutely unwell patients within their home environment where clinically appropriate across a variety of clinical pathways.
We have three teams across the locality in Furness, Kendal and Heysham and these roles will work across all localities with base to be determined at interview stage.
The post holder will practice clinically as a consultant level practitioner within their area of practice to provide and maintain clinical expertise and credibility. They will practice independently and autonomously seeing a wide variety of clientele within their portfolio. In addition to the expert clinical practice provided, this will maintain and support the wider objectives of their role.
The Consultant Clinical Practitioner Post will be characterised by four principal role functions as indicated by the multi-professional framework for consultant practice (Health Education England; 2021)
· Expert clinical practice
· Strategic and enabling leadership
· Learning, developing and improving across the system
· Research and Innovation
We operate from three main hospitals-Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.
FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.
WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
