Responsibilities
Regular reviews of inpatients to monitor the response to treatments will be required and the post holder will operate within multi-disciplinary integrated and co-located teams, which include Health staff and Social services staff. They will be expected to liaise closely with Social Services in order to ensure safe and timely discharge planning of inpatients and communicate promptly to primary care services by providing discharge summaries. At times patients who are under General Adult teams in the community may be admitted to Dunes ward if this is deemed the most appropriate place for them at the time due to circumstances with bed availability in the Trust. The post holder will be expected to provide inpatient care through assessment and treatment as required whilst such patients await transfer to more suitable inpatient units, if required. The post holder will be responsible for the overall assessment, management and safe discharge planning of inpatients on Dunes ward, working closely with other members of the multidisciplinary team including Social Services, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Primary Care.
