Job summary

Since 2022, SCFT have delivered Virtual Wards (Hospital at Home) in line with the NHS Englands national definition that a virtual ward is a safe and efficient alternative to NHS bedded care that support patients who would otherwise be in hospital to receive the acute care and treatment they need in their own home.

As of August 2024, SCFT re-modelled the Virtual Ward delivery and mobilised General Virtual Wards within Urgent Community Response (UCR), which supports Sussex patients within its catchment area with a higher level of acuity to be safely managed at home/chosen place of residence. This could be patients on either an admission avoidance pathway or early supported discharge pathway, where the alternative would be NHS bedded care.

The Virtual Ward activity is now prioritising admission avoidance whilst still delivering early supported discharge for patients from the Acute hospitals. It is delivered 365 days per year, 8am 8pm. UCR teams within the SCFT footprint provide urgent support to help prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and ultimately keeping patients safely at the place they call home. There is a consistent service across Sussex and is made up of multi-disciplinary teams including General Practitioners, Nurses, Pharmacists, Therapists and Carers. The multi-disciplinary team that oversees and delivers care for the General Virtual Ward caseload is led by both medical (a General Practitioner) and clinical senior decision makers.

Main duties of the job

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the UCR Hub Based GP will be required to work alongside the UCR MDT to support clinical decision making for a virtual ward of 30-50 beds.

The UCR Hub Based GP will work within their assigned place based SCFT UCR base. We are recruiting for a GP for the Worthing Virtual Ward (address above). The GP will present within the allocated UCR base working face to face with the SCFT MDT delivering GVW (including supervision of ACPs and team development). Patient visits may be required.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays this can be a remote position with a daily touchpoint for urgent escalations. The GP will act as an on-call contact for advice/support/management of patients on an ad hoc basis as and when needed.These allocated sessions will allow for the completion of any outstanding administrative duties, including discharge summaries, where competing clinical demands on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays have limited the opportunity to complete them.

GPs will need to meet regularly with other VW GPs across the SCFT footprint for shared training and supervision. Some of this can be done remotely, but this role will require some travel across Sussex.
