You will be an integral team member of the Chronic Pain Management service, working alongside multidisciplinary members including Consultants and Allied health care professionals. You will be involved in the running of outpatient based Nurse Led clinics, providing review of various treatment modalities. One of your key roles will be in assisting patients in adopting self-management strategies through advice and education, to support evidenced based practice.

Patients can be very distressed regards their pain. Therefore excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential. You will work alongside all members of the MDT and expected to observe various interventional procedures undertaken by the Consultants, Clinical Psychology and Specialist Physiotherapy teams to develop your knowledge and experience.
In addition to the clinical role, you will also be involved in the triaging of referrals and liaising with other health care providers to ensure patient care is safe and effective. You will work closely with the service’s medical secretary’s regards any other administration requirement of the post. A flexible approach is required due to the variation in role and responsibilities. For further information please see the Job Description and Person Specification.
