Description

We are seeking expressions of interest from Providers to provide a 24 hour nursing package of care to support a child with highly complex medical needs at home. This child requires the support of trained nurses due to the clinical judgement required when meeting the child's needs and to manage the intensive and complex medication regime in response to the child's constantly fluctuating condition.

We require the provider to undertake a competency based training programme that will include the ability for nurses to administer intravenous medication via a Portacath; competencies need to be achieved prior to the Nurses being phased in to care for the child.

Alongside this the Provider would need to complete risk assessments, develop comprehensive care plans and undertake full case management of the package. The expectation is that the clinical oversight, care plan development and clinical governance would be managed by an experienced children's nurse.

Please see attachment for further details.

If you would like to express an interest, please email Rosalind Carter at Rosalind.Carter@ardengemcsu.nhs.uk by no later than 4.00pm on 3rd September 2015.
