Mobile: 0872563069 Email: caroline.groarke1@hse.ie Details of Service In line with Sláintecare (2017) and the Department of Health’s Capacity review (2018), a shift in healthcare service provision is now required to place the focus on integrated, person-centred care, based as close to home as possible. In order to enable this, the Integrated Care Programme for the Prevention and Management of Chronic Disease (ICPCD) is supporting the national implementation of a model of integrated care for the prevention and management of chronic disease as part of the Enhanced Community Care Programme (ECC). The Model of Care for the Integrated Prevention and Management of Chronic Disease has a particular focus on preventive healthcare, early intervention and the provision of supports to live well with chronic disease. The investment in the ECC programme will be delivered on a phased basis with a view to national coverage being achieved within a two- to three- year period. Three priority areas have been identified as follows: 1. Structural reform of healthcare delivery within the community with Community Health Networks (CHNs) becoming the basic building blocks for the organisation, management and delivery of community services across the country; 2. Creating Specialist IntegratedCare Hubs within the community to support primary care management of chronic disease and older people with complex needs; and, 3. Scaling Integrated Care for Older People and Chronic Disease through the recruitment of specialist integrated care teams including Frailty at the Front Door Teams. Integrated care hubs provide access to specialist services within the community with each hub affiliated with a local hospital and serve a population of approximately 150,000 and will focus primarily on the prevention and management of chronic disease (cardiovascular disease, diabetes and chronic respiratory disease). There are 3 Integrated Care Hubs in HSE West and North West Community Services (Galway/Mayo/Roscommon)and all 3 are operational · Galway City Hub (linked with University Hospital Galway) · East Galway/Roscommon Hub (linked with Portiuncula University Hospital and Roscommon University Hospital) · Mayo Hub (linked with Mayo University Hospital) Each integrated care hub has the following staffing · Consultant Cardiologist, Integrated Care · 3 Hub CVD CNS’s · 1 WTE CR Coordinator, · 1 WTE CR Staff Nurse, · 1 WTE Senior Cardiac Physiotherapist, · 0.2 WTE Senior Clinical Psychologist. · 1 WTE cardiac physiologist. The Integrated Cardiology Service provides · A holistic, multidisciplinary approach to the care of individuals with heart failure, atrial fibrillation and atherosclerotic CVD · Comprehensive holistic cardiac rehabilitation as per the newly published HSE Model of Care for CR. It is also anticipated that the hub CR services will run in an integrated fashion with existing hospital-based CR including joint MDTs with the integrated care consultant cardiologist · Early intervention pathways/rapid access clinics for heart failure and atrial fibrillation · Direct access diagnostics for primary care including Echocardiography Role of the Clinical Specialist Dietitian CMCD. Multimorbidity refers to the presence of two or more concomitant chronic diseases and is one of the most challenging issues in healthcare today being associated with increased disability and functional impairment, lower quality of life, increased health services utilization, fragmentation of care and increased mortality. CMCD disease is one of the most prevalent chronic disease combinations with multiple clinical manifestations including heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, atherosclerotic CVD, type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity. CMCD also increases the risk of developing COPD and conversely COPD is independently associated with ischemic heart disease (IHD), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation, and peripheral vascular disease likely due to systemic inflammation and shared lifestyle risk factors. For these reasons CMCD is particularly relevant to the integrated care hubs. But the cardiology integrated care service currently has no dietetic support despite diet/anthropometrics being one of the most potent modifiers of CVD and in particular CMCD. The role of the Dietitian, Clinical Specialist CMCD The successful candidate will: - Develop and deliver integrated dietetic care across hospital and community CR services in conjunction with the cardiac rehab team - Provide clinical leadership for the development of dietetic services for patients with CRM in the integrated care hub - Provide clinical Dietetic assessment and intervention to people presenting with multi-morbidity including 2 or more of the following; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity, Heart Failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, chronic kidney disease or CVD. - Foster close working relationships with existing dietetic services across hospital and community including (but not limited to) renal, hepatology, diabetes, bariatric and cardiology to avoid duplication of services and streamline care for the hub patients with CMCD as much as possible. It is recognised however the exact role will differ according to the needs and configuration of existing services at the local level. The post holder will work as part of the hub cardiology multidisciplinary team as well as provide supervision and education to other hub staff (e.g. staff grade/senior Dietitian working in cardiac rehab across acute and Community).
