Overview
Senior Staff Nurse - Band 6. We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic candidate to the role of Senior Staff Nurse for our award winning Paediatric Hospital@Home service, based at the North Middlesex University Hospital site, to provide a high level service to all patients and staff within the department.
The service is commissioned to provide home based care to children in the boroughs of Haringey and Enfield. We are a 7 day service, 365 days a year, working hours 07:30-20:00, consisting of early and late shifts. The H@H service is commissioned by NCL ICB and has provided positive patient experience and outcomes to children in their own homes, who otherwise would have been admitted to Inpatient units. The function of the team will be to provide hospital standard care to children with acute nursing needs in the community.
Working within a virtual ward model, the service will develop bespoke care pathways for children requiring nursing care which will avoid extended lengths of stay and admission. The team will work closely with Paediatricians and pharmacy colleagues to ensure a seamless transfer home and provide high quality nursing care according to their treatment plan.
