Advanced Clinical Practitioner / Advanced Nurse Practitioner

The Virtual Ward is an exciting new service offering home based care to patients who would otherwise occupy a hospital bed. The care is delivered by a specialist workforce using face to face assessments and an integrated pathway to safely support patients in their own home. The developing Virtual Ward is looking at technology to assist with virtual assessment and monitoring to support the specialist in caring for people at home. Working closely with other regional experts, you will work both independently and as part of the supportive multi-Disciplinary team; providing care that is underpinned by a culture of research and innovation. Predominantly based at either Wexham Park Hospital, Slough or Frimley Park Hospital, Camberley, the role will be to assess, diagnose and implement a treatment plan for patients with respiratory illness, facilitating virtual ward care where appropriate and desired. Integration into the wider respiratory team is essential, therefore, some time will be spent
working from community sites and facilitating domiciliary care (approximately 4 shifts per month). The role requires flexibility in working patterns and is planned to cover a 7-day service. We are looking for someone who is highly skilled and knowledgeable in complex respiratory care and is committed to delivering and ensuring others deliver an excellent, evidence-based service. As part of the senior team, you will liaise with a variety of key stakeholders including primary care.
