Your role will be to provide clinical case management for patients with MND living in the community who are at risk of deteriorating health that may result in declining quality of life or avoidable hospital admission or an unnecessary longer length of stay.
You will work as an integral part of the multi-disciplinary Neurology Teams Mid and South Essex and alongside other relevant services, such as local hospices, and across care providers in all areas, to ensure continuity of care when patients are referred on to and from these services.
