Hospital at Home West Division.
The Hospital at Home Teams within Fife provide a service for the frail elderly population (predominantly over 65yrs), which prevents acute hospital admission or facilitates early supported discharge where acute hospital admission has taken place. It allows people to have a period of “acute” medical care within their own home, which will in turn allow the person to recover from a period of illness without needing hospital admission.
The successful Nurse Practitioner will be required to deliver a high standard of safe and effective acute medical patient care within the community setting. They must have the ability to work autonomously in this evolving aspect of the service and must have a qualification at degree level in clinical decision making and the desire and ability to work towards an NMP qualification. The additional skills of venepuncture, ECG, IV additives and cannulation will be required also for this role. Excellent communication, confidence and good degree of assertiveness and time management skills are essential in this role.
The ability to travel within the area in a timely manner is also required to be able to respond to deteriorating patients and provide daily routine clinical interventions in the community.
