A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Lipid Management and Secondary Prevention Practitioner (band 8a), 0.67WTE to contribute towards an existing successful secondary prevention service for the patients of Gateshead. This is an innovative service commenced in September 2023 that is pivotal to supporting the national agenda of cardiovascular disease prevention and has been presented at national conferences. The Secondary Prevention Service was also a finalist at the prestigious Bright Ideas in Healthcare Awards 2024.
We are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic and highly skilled Lipid Management and Secondary Prevention Practitioner with a prescribing qualification and a keen interest in working in lipid management and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Under guidance and mentorship of the consultants leading the service, the post holder will provide specialist clinical input and contribute towards existing longitudinal data collection on patient benefit and outcomes.
Based in the North East of England we provide a range of hospital and community health services from our leading facilities, including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Blaydon urgent care centre and Bensham Hospital, all within Gateshead.
Established in 2005, we were one of the first foundation trusts in the country and since then have consistently achieved the highest levels of care for patients.
We now employ around 4,800 staff and currently provide 444 hospital beds across the Gateshead region.
Our values should be the golden thread which runs through everything we do they are the core of who we are. Our five values can easily be remembered by the simple acronym ICORE; Innovation, Care, Openness, Respect, Engagement.
We have a number of staff networks including the Global Ethnic Majority (GEM) network, D-Ability network, LGBTQ+ Network and the Womens Network, to challenge us and help us to constantly improve. Our Armed Forces network is one of our emerging networks.
The health and wellbeing of our staff is one of our highest priorities, and we offer a range of support and initiatives as part of our Balance programme balancegateshead.com to cater for our diverse workforce, so that your individual needs can be supported, allowing you a happy and healthy working experience with us.
The successful applicant will work closely as part of the MDT (alongside colleagues from cardiology, endocrinology, renal medicine and stroke teams) to triage patient referrals into the service. They will then deliver clinical care in patient clinics, initiating and monitoring patients on guideline-directed medical therapies to achieve target lipid reductions to reduce risk of future cardiovascular events. They will review and promote medicines optimisation for patients who have associated cardiovascular risk factors including diabetes, thyroid disease, chronic kidney disease and hypertension including titration of secondary prevention medication post myocardial infarction.
They will share progress of the project with consultant clinical leads for the service, service line manager for medicine and the key stakeholders of cardiology, endocrinology, renal medicine and stroke teams. There is also the opportunity to be involved in an existing regional lipid specialist advisory group to share ideas and experiences.
A self-starter with good communication skills, passion for improving patient care, and an interest in audit and research and who will maintain our commitment to the trusts core values would be highly sought to join our team who have had work widely presented and been nominated for regional awards.
