Paediatric Asthma Clinical Nurse Specialist
The Paediatric Asthma Clinical Nurse Specialist is responsible for the delivery and development of specialist asthma services for children and young people across North West London.
The post holder will provide expert clinical care and leadership in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance, the British Thoracic Society / Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (BTS/SIGN) asthma guidelines, and NHS England asthma standards.
Working within the paediatric respiratory multidisciplinary team, the role will support improved outcomes, reduced unwarranted variation, and high-quality, equitable asthma care.
The post holder will work autonomously, managing a specialist caseload of children and young people with asthma, including those with complex, severe, or high-risk disease. They will undertake advanced clinical assessment, develop and review personalised asthma management plans, and coordinate care across acute, community, and primary care settings.
Particular emphasis will be placed on children and young people living in areas of deprivation and other underserved populations across North West London, where asthma morbidity and avoidable hospital attendances are disproportionately high.
