As a Matron in Medicine no two days are the same!
But every day provides a real opportunity to make a difference for our patients, colleagues and local community. This is a 4 month secondment opportunity for the Preston inpatient wards.
We are seeking to recruit an experienced and highly motivated nurse to provide strong visible leadership and oversight across the Medicine Division at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
About the Role
This is a pivotal role, contributing directly to the delivery of high-quality, safe and compassionate care. The postholder will provide professional leadership, operational oversight, and assurance across clinical quality, patient safety, workforce and performance, working closely with matrons, ward leaders, the multidisciplinary team and senior Trust colleagues.

In the role of Matron, you will work closely with the Speciality Business Manager and Clinical Director on all aspects of clinical care and be focused on patient safety, patient experience and quality assurance frameworks.
