Job summary
NHS@Home is an
innovative service, providing care for people who are acutely unwell in their own
homes across Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire. It offers an alternative
to hospital and helps people return home from hospital more quickly, too.
The service uses a
mixture of face-to-face visits, phone and video calls, and remote monitoring through
digital technology, to help people recover safely in the comfort of their own
home.
NHS@Home has six
pathways, covering a wide range of conditions including frailty, respiratory,
heart failure, and general surgical recovery. Our team provide a very wide
range of acute healthcare treatments within the home, in addition to monitoring
health conditions and vital signs for deterioration.
The service is run in
partnership between Sirona care & health, North Bristol Trust, University
Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust and BrisDoc.
Knowing I was
being discharged into the care of the NHS@Home respiratory service made the
world of difference to me - I felt very reassured by the fact that the
respiratory team were monitoring me so frequently it helped me feel safer and
less afraid. N.L, service user
