## Job Content

### Job overview

The Hospital at Home service is an innovative and pioneering service based at the Abingdon Community Hospital in Oxfordshire, covering a large catchment area across Central, West and South Oxfordshire.

The service works collaboratively with Services from the OUH, to provide a  holistic approach to assessment, and provide hospital level treatment for patients in their own homes, thus avoiding admission or expediating discharge from secondary care providers.

### Main duties of the job

Working with a high degree of autonomy, the post holder will:

Manage undifferentiated and undiagnosed conditions by using, developing and consolidating advanced clinical skills within their own sphere of competence.

Support remote management of patients conditions, who otherwise would need to be transferred to an acute care setting to receive assessment and treatment.

Provide holistic patient care, in the patient’s residence, from assessment of presenting condition through to diagnosis,  hospital level treatment and then discharge, including the prescribing and administration of medication, thus providing a alternative to admission into acute care services.

Work collaboratively within the wider multidisciplinary team and with external providers, to ensure the right care is provided, by the right person, at the right time and in the right place.

### Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Oxford Health Foundation Trust is part of the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire integrated care system (BOB),  and Oxon Urgent Community Response service was a recognised national accelerator site in the Ageing Well Programme in development of new NHS Urgent Community Response services.

You will help play a key role in continuing to help  people manage their long-term conditions, making sure they receive the right kind of support to help them remain independent and live longer and linking in with our healthcare and charity based colleagues in the wider community.

You will be working alongside our Community  Nursing and Therapy Teams,  South Central Ambulance Service, General Practice and Oxford University Hospital colleagues with the opportunity to work across many facets of Community services.
