NHS Fife and Fife Council have committed to developing an Integrated Community Assessment and Support Service (ICASS) across the region with three Hospital at Home teams operating within the Board area.

The site manages up to 22 patients and has an experienced team of nurses and advanced nurse practitioners who clerk the patients, and deliver the treatment in agreement with the medical practitioner. The role of the doctor within H@H is to undertake a virtual ward round to review and develop management plans as well as reviewing new referrals in their home. Several thousand Fife patients have now been managed successfully through this service and feedback has generally been excellent.

Hospital at Home provides a service 7 days a week, from 8.00 am to 10.00 pm. H@H accepts referrals from both GPs and the Victoria Hospital, Monday to Friday from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm and step-down referrals from 8.00 am until 10.00 pm 7 days a week.

Are you applying for your first post since registering?

Are you within your first year of practice?

If this is you - did you know that:NHS Fife supports all first year practitioners from Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions (including bank staff), through the Flying Start NHS Programme.

What is Flying Start?The Flying Start NHS® programme is a self-directed, web-based development programme for all newly qualified Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals (AHP) working within NHS Scotland, who are in their first year of practice.

Flying Start was produced by NHS Education for Scotland (NES) in 2006 and developed in line with research findings that confirmed that a period of preceptorship bridges the theory-practice gap and supports recruitment and retention.

It provides self-directed learning through ten learning units. You select activities most appropriate to your learning needs and area of work. These are:

Communication Equality and DiversityClinical Skills PolicyTeamwork Reflective PracticeSafe Practice Continuing Professional PracticeResearch for Practice Careers

What are the benefits of Flying Start?Other newly qualified practitioners have said that it:

o “Provides a flexible structure to support your learning”o “Builds skills for your future career”o “Increases confidence in your abilities”o “Supports interaction with other professionals/disciplines”

What are the expectations within NHS Fife for Flying Start?There is an expectation within NHS Fife that staff should complete two thirds the activities as close to the initial twelve month period as possible. The ten learning units correspond with the Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF). This provides a structure against which the newly qualified practitioner (NQP) can formulate their Personal Development Plan (PDP) and support their progression through the KSF foundation gateway.

69

What support is available for me?Every individual is responsible for registering on the website, getting started and working through the programme, however:

You will be allocated a mentor, who will offer you support, feedback and guidance during your first year in practice.

The Newly Qualified Practitioner Flying Start ‘Rolling Programme’ is offered throughout NHS Fife by the Practice & Professional Development Department (Nursing and Midwifery Practice Education Facilitators and the AHP Practice Education Lead). These 4 sessions offer you support and guidance about getting started and progression through Flying Start, as well as putting you in touch with other practitioners participating in the programme.
