About the role
Mid Yorkshire NHS Teaching Trust has been awarded new funding to implement and provide a dietetic-led Off-FP10 service for enteral (HEF) and oral nutritional support (ONS) across Wakefield Place. Working in partnership with Wakefield Health and Care Partnership and the ICS, this service will ensure all patients requiring nutritional support are referred to and reviewed/monitored by the dietetic team.
This new development will provide a patient-centred, needs-based service, allowing seamless and more timely care for community patients who may require nutritional support intervention. The aim of the new service is to stop inappropriate prescribing of ONS (in line with NHS England intentions), ensure all patients receive timely and appropriate dietetic intervention, and provide regular and ongoing training to all care homes across Wakefield Place. The service also aims to reduce health inequalities by improving access to dietetic support for all patients, regardless of location.
The service has been commissioned on a permanent basis, so we are looking to recruit into all areas including qualified dietitians, dietetic assistants, and a new admin team.
The post-holders will be based at Dewsbury District Hospital but may be required to attend meetings at one of the other two hospital sites, Pinderfields and Pontefract.
