Band 5 RN Operational Discharge and Flow Support Team
The new HHFT Operational Discharge and Flow Support Team has been formed via the merger of the existing Discharge Lounge and Transfer Teams on both the Winchester and Basingstoke sites. We are recruiting Band 5 RN roles across our Winchester and Basingstoke sites.
Working collaboratively with the Site and Duty Team, In‑patient and clinical areas, and Integrated Discharge Teams, the Operational Discharge and Flow support Team will positively impact the patient experience and operational performance by supporting earlier discharges from the wards via the Discharge Lounges and earlier movement from our Emergency Departments and assessment areas. The team will work dynamically and with multiple key stakeholders to provide targeted support to alleviate blockages and barriers to flow.
Potential candidates must be able to work across all functions of the role and work intuitively and under the guidance of the Band 7 and Site and Duty Team.
Main Duties of the Role
- Discharge coordination, working with the Integrated Discharge Team, Patient Flow Facilitators, ward teams and the Operations Centre team.
- Maintaining accurate data on our Ewhiteboards.
- Supporting transport arrangements.
- Patient engagement and experience – supporting patients’ safe and timely transfer on the day of admission and to the Discharge Charge Lounge on their discharge date.
- Be flexible and responsive with the ability to move between tasks quickly and efficiently.
- Medicines management – supporting patients with TTOs.
- Providing clinical leadership for the Band 3 HCSW.
