Background: The named nurse concept is well documented in improving continuity and co-ordination of care for inpatients. Named nurses were introduced in an HIV outpatient clinic initially for Oncology, Hepatitis C and newly diagnosed patients. The role was then expanded to include more patients with higher levels of care needs. The aim of this project was to review the application of an adapted named nurse model in HIV outpatients. Method: Data were retrospectively collected on all active patients and allocated nurses on a named nurse (NN) database between September 2018 and February 2019. EPR documentation was searched for data on antiretroviral therapy (ART), viral load, HARS category, current care issues and referrals. Analysis was undertaken using Excel. In addition, a survey monkey questionnaire was e-mailed to gain feedback on key aspects of the role from the multidisciplinary team. Results: There were 103 patients who had a recorded NN of which 93.2% (96/103) were on ART. Of these 85.4% (82/96) had a viral load of <40copies/ml compared with 99% of the general clinic caseload on ARTs. 60.2% (62/103) were in HARS category 3, with 37.9% (39/103) and 1.9% (2/103) in HARS category 2 and 1 respectively. Of the103 patients 68% had one NN, 30.1% had two NN and 1.9% had three with banding of the sole/ primary NN as follows: Band 5 19.4%; Band 6 20.4%; Band 7 24.2% and Band 8 36%. There were an additional 204 clinical interactions documented not including virtual or face to face appointments. The main nursing care issues are summarised in table 1. Table1: Nursing care issues % of patients affected Mental Health 54.3% Attendance support 50.5% Co-morbidities management 39.8% Substance misuse 30.1% Adherence 25.2% Social Care 22.3% Unstable housing 19.4% Cognitive function issues 2.6% Referrals were as follows: Voluntary sector 37.8%; HIV Community team 26.2%; Mental Health 20.3%, Homeless/Housing 12.6% Drug/Alcohol services 10.6% Social Care 7.7%. 12/30 staff responded to the Survey Monkey questionnaire (40% return rate), comprising 50% doctors, 8.3% Pharmacy and 41.7% specialist community nurses. The role was particularly valued as a link role (90.9%), for care continuity/care co-ordination (90.9%) and liaison with other services (81.8%). Conclusion: This review shows that the NN model can be applied to an HIV OP clinic and can contribute to supporting people with HIV who have higher levels of need. Future evaluation is required on the patient experience of the NN role in this setting.
