We have an exciting new position for an experienced physiotherapist to join the Long Term Conditions services in the North Lancashire area. The role will be rotational between the care home support team, Long Term Conditions team, and Community Therapy team.
The Care Home Support Team supports staff in registered care homes with nursing in the North Lancashire footprint to deliver safe, high-quality care for residents.
The Long Term Conditions (LTC) Team plays a significant role in caring for people assessed as having a long-term condition or who are frail and whose care is more appropriately delivered at home.
All these teams work towards avoiding admissions and enabling early discharge from hospital, following the Government plan to prevent, delay, or divert the need for acute hospital or long-term bed-based care.
The post holder will be professionally and clinically responsible for highly specialist community physiotherapy assessment and treatment, working as an autonomous practitioner managing patients with a wide range of highly complex conditions.
Provide highly specialist advice, training, and leadership to physiotherapy staff, GPs, and the wider community MDT.
The candidate will assess, diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate individualised programmes of evidence-based care, providing highly specialist advice to patients, carers/relatives, and the multidisciplinary team.
Our services 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 community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.
FGH and RLI offer a range of services, including Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units, and various consultant-led services.
WGH provides general hospital services, an Urgent Treatment Centre, and supports non-life-threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
All three hospitals provide planned care, including outpatient services, diagnostics, therapies, day cases, and inpatient surgery. Community outreach services and diagnostics are also available across Morecambe Bay.
