Organisational Area Disability Services, HSE West and North West Informal Enquiries Aoife O’Donohue, General Manager, Disability Services, HSE West and North West Email: Aoife.odonohue1@hse.ie Tele: 087 1198334 Details of Service Disability services support people with disabilities to live the life of their choosing in their own homes, in accommodation that is designed and/or adapted as necessary to meet their needs, enabling them to live ordinary lives in ordinary places as independently as possible. Services Provided Disability services are provided to those with physical, sensory, intellectual disability and autism in day, respite and residential settings. Services include personal assistant, home support, multi- disciplinary and other community supports. Services are delivered through a mix of HSE direct provision as well as through non-statutory Section 38 and 39 service providers and private providers. Delivery of the planned level of services is dependent on the requirement for all services to manage and prioritise costs within available budgets. They also provide for some service increase relating to demographic growth, however, the rate of growth may continue to impact on our ability to meet required access performance targets. In the case of some services, given that the HSE is the statutory provider of last resort and the realities around the relatively fixed nature of certain costs, there is a requirement to respond to need even if this exceeds what can be supported by the available funding level. Within disability services, this primarily relates to residential places and emergency cases. Information about the Disability Services Social Care Division: The establishment of a Disability Services Social Care Division to support the ongoing service requirements of people with disabilities is an important step in moving forward with the design and implementation of models of care which will support and maintain service users to live at home and/or in their own community. The objective is to promote their independence and lifestyle choice in as far as possible. · People with disabilities with care needs must be provided with a continuum of services such as home care, day care and intermediate residential care to avoid unnecessary acute hospital admissions and have their required treatments and supports delivered within their local community at primary care level in as far as possible. · These types of services must be responsive to service user needs and be provided flexibly at the least possible unit cost to build a sustainable system into the future. A key function of the Disability Services Social Dare Division is to : · Organise and deliver the required services safely and to a set of standards · Reconfigure the available resource through a comprehensive reform process, increasing productivity and changing traditional cost structures in the process. In line with the Department of Health Statement of Strategy 2019 - 2021, the Disability Services Social Care Division will: · Implement the recommendations of the Value for Money and Policy Review of Disability Service so as to implement reforms to the system of financing and delivery of services including the introduction of individualised budgets. · Enhance the cost effectiveness of services by the introduction of standardised funding bands for specific types of services for people with disabilities and developing a standardised needs assessment framework to ensure that levels/types of services provided are appropriate to people’s needs. In addition, the Disability Services Social Care Division will progress the implementation of key programmes including: · The programme for Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People. · The Review of Autism Services. · Reconfiguring adult day services as outlined in New Directions – Report on the National Working Group for the Review of HSE funded Adult Day Services. · Reconfiguring residential services as recommended in Time to Move from Congregated Settings and the National Neuro-Rehabilitation Strategy. Purpose of the Post - To manage the services provided for people with a physical, sensory, intellectual disability and autism in day, respite and residential settings within the catchment area. - To ensure equitable distribution of available resources and equity of access to quality services. - Working with colleagues and other agencies to identify service requirements and play a significant role in strategic planning and initiating change. - To act as a contact person for service users within their catchment area. - To ensure the development and delivery of appropriate services for persons with intellectual, physical and sensory disability in an effective and responsive manner.

Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy
HSE Mid - West are currently recruiting for the role of Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner (cANP) Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT). Location of the Post HSE Mid-West – Initial Assignment University Hospital Limerick There is currently 2 permanent / whole-time vacancies available in University Hospital Limerick. A panel may be formed as a result of this campaign for Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner (cANP) Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) from which current and future, permanent and specified purpose vacancies of full or part-time duration may be filled. Purpose of the Post The main purpose of the post is to develop the job description and supporting documentation under the direction of the Health Care Provider’s Advanced Practice Stakeholder Governance Group, to enable the individual nurse to meet the NMBI Criteria for Registration as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner as set out in Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements (NMBI, 2017). The individual will undertake the academic preparation and develop the clinical and leadership skills, competencies and knowledge required to meet the criteria to be registered as a RANP with NMBI. The scope of the cANP role must reflect the incremental development of expertise and as such, the cANP cannot deliver care as an autonomous practitioner. Furthermore, the cANP will develop and submit their personal portfolio and all other necessary documentation to NMBI in order to register as a RANP. The value of the nursing contribution as a distinct profession must be safeguarded and articulated in the development of new services led by advanced nurse practitioners, complementing rather than replacing current services delivered by doctors (NMBI 2017 p.9). The overall purpose of the post is to provide safe, timely, evidenced based nurse-led care to patients at an advanced nursing level. This involves undertaking and documenting a complete episode of patient care (assess, diagnose, plan, treat and discharge patients) according to collaboratively agreed protocols and scope of practice in the clinical setting; demonstrating advanced clinical and theoretical knowledge, critical thinking, clinical leadership and decision making skills. The advanced practice role demonstrates a high degree of knowledge, skill and experience that is applied within the nurse-patient/client relationship to achieve optimal outcomes through critical analysis, problem solving and accurate decision-making (NMBI, 2017). Central to this is the provision of quality care, a safe environment and processes for patients by the use of evidence based clinical guidelines that address patient expectations, promote wellness and evaluate care given. The role will provide clinical leadership and professional scholarship in order to develop nursing practice and health policy at local, regional and national level. The role will contribute to nursing research to shape and advance nursing practice, education and health care policy at local, national and international levels.
