  • Develop your clinical skills in conducting remote clinical assessments and treatment for patients across the Virtual Ward pathways.
  • Develop new skills outside of your normal scope of practice to enable a single holistic assessment approach, following established escalation pathways.

The role will be primarily office-based within the Virtual Ward Hub. At present, the role is core working hours 08:00 - 18:00 with weekend/bank holiday working on a rota basis. The wider Virtual Ward service operates 7 days a week covering shifts 08:00 until 22:00.
