This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced pharmacist to utilise clinical independent prescribing and leadership skills as they develop and lead clinical and operational pharmacy services provided to patients on the virtual wards and the urgent community response service in Tees Community.
Hospital at Home service provides hospital-level care for patients in their own homes to avoid hospital admission and facilitate discharge. Urgent community response reviews patients within 2 hours of referral to avoid hospital admission.
Hospital at Home offers hospital standard community care in people's own homes for frailty patients—those at highest risk of poor health outcomes such as falls, disability, hospital admission, or the need for long-term care.
The service helps reduce avoidable hospital admissions while ensuring patients receive the care they need from the comfort of their own homes.
Patients are monitored daily by a multidisciplinary team and are overseen by a GP or consultant. Visits are arranged as required to meet individual needs.
This is an excellent opportunity for a pharmacist to be a crucial member of the multidisciplinary team for one of the most rapidly expanding clinical services within the Tees Valley Community.
