Staff Nurse, Acute Virtual Ward

*** APPLY WITH HSE APPLICATION FORM ONLY - CV'S WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED***

Acute Virtual Wards have emerged as a viable clinical intervention, enabled by technology, that is a safe and efficient alternative to bedded care. AVWs support patients who would otherwise be in hospital to receive the acute care, monitoring, and treatment (equivalent to that received in an acute hospital) they need in their own home. This supports early transfer out of hospital and augments acute bed capacity.

The AVW provides patients who would otherwise be in a hospital bed to be remotely monitored and receive treatment in their own home. This care will be under the governance of and coordinated from the acute service with input from a Consultant / Integrated Care Consultant, ANP’s, CNS’s and the nursing team staffing the AVW. The service will be fully aligned or integrated with other service development programmes and services in the community.
