Job responsibilities

Purpose of the role

The Diabetes Matron is a Leeds system-wide senior nursing leadership post within the Tier 3 Clinical Oversight Group of the Diabetes Neighbourhood Health Programme a new integrated model of care for adults aged 1867 with diabetes (any type) and two or more other long-term conditions, delivered across the Beeston and Middleton & Hunslet PCN footprint and scaling across the multi-neighbourhood over the three-year development period.

The post-holder provides advanced clinical decision-making across atypical and complex diabetes presentations, contributes to the weekly Tier 3 MDT (combined with the existing LTHT community diabetes MDT), and provides clinical supervision to the Tier 2 Clinical Lead Nurses for Diabetes. The role sits alongside the Consultant Diabetologist, Consultant Pharmacist, Highly Specialist Pharmacist and Clinical Psychologist, forming the specialist backbone of the model.

The post-holder is expected to demonstrate advanced practice competence across the four pillars set out by the Health Education England / NHS England multi-professional framework for advanced clinical practice clinical practice, leadership and management, education, and research. Expert clinical knowledge of diabetes is the primary requirement of the role and takes precedence over a formal Advanced Clinical Practitioner qualification. Applicants without a formal ACP qualification who can demonstrate the four pillars of advanced practice, together with expert diabetes knowledge, are strongly encouraged to apply.

Active engagement with people in deprivation deciles 13 and named priority groups (people with learning disability, serious mental illness, those homeless or vulnerably housed, those who smoke or use substances, adults living alone) is a core expectation of the role.
