Surrey Downs Health & Care
We are looking for an experienced nurse to join East Elmbridge Primary Care Network (PCN). You will work with the Clinical lead, GP lead and an Operational Manager and will provide clinical advice and support to the patients and community nurses in East Elmbridge PCN. You will carry your own caseload of complex patients as well as providing clinical support to the PCN team. You must enjoy working in the community and leading change.
Main duties of the job
The Community Matron will take a lead role to proactively identify vulnerable adults who have multiple and complex long-term conditions and who may be high intensity users of primary and secondary care services. The community matron will work across traditional organisational boundaries challenging inequities to co-ordinate and ensure health and social care needs of the individuals are met. As an autonomous practitioner the community matron will use a case management approach to ensure the individual's condition remains as stable as possible and wellbeing is increased.
About us
Surrey Downs Health and Care deliver care closer to people's own communities through our Primary Care Networks, Community Hospitals, Specialist Services and our innovative partnership of local NHS organisations.
Surrey Downs Health and Care has a track record of providing person centered care that goes beyond organisational boundaries to do what is best for the individual. This partnership includes:
Historically, there have been boundary lines between the organisations that provide care to people in their homes, in GP surgeries and in hospitals, but we have always been united in our mission to provide great care to the people who need us.
It's on those grounds that the Surrey Downs Health and Care was formed - we want local people to receive the care that they need in the right environment. By bringing together our expertise, we can improve patient care and enable local people to access the right support, care and treatment more easily than ever before.
In bringing this partnership together, we are working to the same set of values that will translate into better care for our residents.
