Please Note: Location of Post There is currently 0.5 WTE permanent half-time vacancy available in Community Neuro-Rehabilitation Team X A panel may be formed as a result of this campaign for Dietitian, Clinical Specialist from which current and future, permanent and specified purpose vacancies of full or part-time duration may be filled. Informal Enquiries Doireann O’Shaughnessy, Operations Manager CNRT, doireann.oshaughnessy@hse.ie Mairead Aherne, Dietitian Manager in Charge 3 Kildare & West Wicklow, mairead.aherne@hse.ie Details of Service As part of the 'National Strategy and Policy for the Provision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services in Ireland – Implementation Framework 2019-2021, the HSE are developing networks of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services. The overarching aim of the Strategy is the development of Neuro-Rehabilitation services to improve outcomes for people by providing safe, high quality, person-centred Neuro-Rehabilitation at the lowest appropriate level of complexity. This must be integrated across the care pathway and provided as close to home as possible. These services are to be configured into population based Managed Clinical Rehabilitation Networks (MCRNs). The new model would see the introduction of a multi-tiered system, with access to services based on clinically assessed need. This means that instead of people being referred to a single service, they are now referred to a network of services and can access services within the network based on their need. All referrals to the network are received on a standardised referral form and are processed through a single point of entry through the Network Rehabilitation Coordinator role. Services would work together across organisational boundaries with people moving across the continuum of care seamlessly based on their needs. The MCRN model consists of a multi-tiered system of Neuro-Rehabilitation services and the Community Neuro-Rehabilitation Team (CNRT) provides a critical link in the care pathway by facilitating early discharge and continuity from both acute and post-acute rehabilitation facilities. The Community Neuro Rehabilitation Team is an inter-disciplinary therapy team providing a specialised service for adults with a range of progressive or acquired neurological conditions. This is a multi-professional team including a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Psychology, Social Work, Nursing, Dietetics and Administrative staff. This team will provide assessment and intensive therapy to people in both their own homes and in a clinic based setting for up to a period of 12 weeks. This service will provide people with earlier access to specialist rehabilitation close to home. The team provide a person centred service, improving people’s quality of life and working together to support people with neuro-rehabilitative needs. As this team is part of the Managed Clinical Rehabilitation Network, the newly established Community Neuro-rehabilitation Team will have a significant role to play with respect to evaluation of the service and contributing to further development of the team and the wider Managed Clinical Rehabilitation Network.
