Staff Nurse - Virtual Ward
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust
Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Remote
Contract type: Part time
Remote
In this role, you will be responsible for remotely monitoring patients and delivering treatment and care using cutting-edge technology through a Virtual Ward. The Virtual Ward serves as a central monitoring hub connecting various divisions within the organisation, offering opportunities for you to expand your expertise in medicine, orthopaedics, surgery and many more.
Your responsibilities will be divided between the monitoring hub and collaborative efforts across different sites, where you will educate and support colleagues in utilising the Virtual Ward service. The Virtual Ward provides several advantages for patients, enabling them to receive treatments and monitoring from the convenience of their homes. Consequently, this contributes to the Trust's ability to prioritize and treat the most critically ill patients in acute settings.
Primary Responsibilities
The Trust provides a full range of general hospital services and some areas of specialist complex care to around 760,000 people living in the south part of West Kent and the north part of East Sussex.
The Trust’s core catchment areas are Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells and their surrounding boroughs. We work from two main clinical sites: Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury. Tunbridge Wells Hospital opened in 2011 and provides single rooms with en-suites for all in-patients – the first of its kind in the country.
We employ more than 7,000 full and part-time staff in a huge range of clinical and non-clinical roles across both of our hospital sites.
