Clinical Lead for Gynaecology Planned Care Service
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, dynamic and compassionate nurse leader to join the Women's Health Directorate as Clinical Lead for the Gynaecology Planned Care Service.
This pivotal role offers the opportunity to provide both clinical and operational leadership to a highly skilled nursing team delivering specialist gynaecology services across University Hospitals Dorset. Working in partnership with the Matron, General Manager, consultants and multidisciplinary colleagues, you will play a key role in shaping and transforming services, improving patient outcomes and delivering excellence in women's healthcare.
As Clinical Lead, you will be a visible role model, supporting nursing excellence, driving quality improvement and ensuring the delivery of safe, effective and patient-centred care throughout the planned care pathway.
The clinical elements of the role involve assisting with procedures in an outpatient setting; such as hysteroscopy, colposcopy, biopsies, urodynamic testing, pessary fitting, endometrial ablations, LLETZ procedures, polyp removal and TWOCs. The service currently operates on the Bournemouth and Poole site. Further amalgamation and expansion of the service is expected in the coming years.
