Care Homes Team

We are a multi-disciplinary healthcare team comprising of  Nurses, pharmacists, Therapists, a dietician and care coordinators.  We work closely with the Care Home GP lead for Rushcliffe – Dr Rachel Shaw, and on behalf of the GP surgeries that cover the care homes within the Rushcliffe Primary Care Network. We also link in with the wider network of community health and social care services.

Our remit is founded upon the principles of the NHS Enhanced Health in Care Homes initiative, and as part of this service we aim to visit all new admissions to care homes  to chat about healthcare needs and undertake a proactive Comprehensive Geriatric Health assessment. Working with care home residents, their families and  care home staff, we support with the development of an Individualised Personal Healthcare and Support Plan.  As part of our initial assessment, we  can also signpost and refer to health and social care services we identify will be beneficial. If appropriate, we can also support with discussions around Advanced Care Planning and the ReSPECT process.

Scott Maddocks - Care Homes Clinician

I joined the Care Home Team in April of 2022, having done a variety of paramedic roles across primary, urgent, and emergency care. I have post-registration qualifications in community healthcare, including a Masters degree in Public Health. I’m passionate about multidisciplinary working; something I’ve been fortunate to have experience of in both the UK, and in engagement projects with partners around the world, including Nepal and the US. This background will help me work with the team to ensure our patients receive the right care in the right place.
