Bank Shifts – Ad hoc Covering Location: Cromwell Hospital, 1A Lexham Gardens, W8 5JJ, London Salary: Competitive

Role Overview

Are you a skilled Lymphoedema Therapist able to autonomously deliver all aspects of lymphoedema management to adult patients (predominantly outpatients, some inpatients)?

Much of the role involves delivering:

• **Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) / Skin-Light Therapy (SLD)
• Compression therapy (including multi-component bandaging, stockings, and hosiery)
• Patient education on skincare and exercise

You’ll primarily manage secondary lymphoedema cases but may also accept primary lymphoedema referrals. The choice of compression garments and stockings will be your clinical decision.

As a clinician at Bupa, patient care is your priority. Without shareholders, Bupa reinvests profits into delivering superior patient outcomes, offering advanced technology and extra time to make a real difference.

We trust your professional judgement while actively supporting your professional growth at every stage.

Key Responsibilities

• Autonomous clinical decision-making—deliver personalised treatment plans using reflective practice and clinical reasoning.
• Consent and education—secure ongoing informed consent and educate patients for self-management.
• Multi-disciplinary collaboration—coordinate with MDTs (e.g., doctors, dietitians, physiotherapists) to ensure holistic care.
• Liaison with external services to ensure long-term patient management.
• Accurate record-keeping—document all sessions, including missed appointments or unmet needs.
• Clinical risk management—mitigate risk within your caseload and communicate escalations effectively.
• Service improvement—support development of lymphoedema provision, including new referrals and service tools.
