The Spinal Cord Injury Practitioner is a new role within the East Midlands. The post holder will be part of a peripatetic team working across the East Midlands, based at University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL), and predominantly covering SCI patients within the UHL and University Hospitals of Northamptonshire.
The role of the Spinal Cord Injury Practitioner as a nurse or Allied Health Professional will provide high-quality clinical standards, patient-oriented care for patients diagnosed with spinal cord injury (SCI) and Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES). The post holder will be responsible for providing direct specialist intervention and clinical advice to patients with traumatic, non-traumatic SCI and CES. The postholder will need to liaise with patients, their families, other hospitals, and rehabilitation centres ensuring a seamless, co-ordinated, and timely approach to care and rehabilitation. This will be based upon a networked model of care led by Princess Royal Spinal Injuries Unit Sheffield as the regional SCIC.
The post holder will be required to use high level of clinical expertise in their specialism to provide leadership, support, education and training for medical, nursing and therapy teams involved in direct patient care of people with a spinal cord injury, in any setting in the catchment area, including cross-cover support where necessary and sharing resource and expertise to ensure equity of access and provision across the region.
To work, organise and facilitate communication with Multidisciplinary teams in all settings where patients with SCI are treated and planning for planning of care, good practice, transfers, or discharge.
To assess, monitor and provide specialist advice and support to a care plan to patients who have sustained a traumatic spinal cord injury or develop a condition impacting a normal functionality of the spinal cord across a variety of settings.
To demonstrate professional skills, standards, and experience consistent with a clinical specialist in SCI management and act as a source of expertise across the SCI East Midlands network.
To maintain a complex clinical caseload as an autonomous practitioner.
To promote the delivery of kind, compassionate and respectful care, developing relationships with patients that involve better listening and decision-making.
To use specialist knowledge and experience to constructively challenge others; escalating concerns that affect individuals’, families’, carers’, communities’ and colleagues’ safety and well-being when necessary.
To ensure that the workforce responsible in the care of SCI patients in any setting has regular updates and training aimed at improving the SCI patient pathway, including preventing avoidable complications.
Supporting referrals to the SCIC and helping to determine the most appropriate pathway for the patient.
Working with local community and specialist teams to enable the most appropriate ongoing care and rehabilitation.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We Have Four Primary Goals
* high-quality care for all,
* being a great place to work,
* partnerships for impact, and
* research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
* we are compassionate,
* we are proud,
* we are inclusive, and
* we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
