Lung Screening Wales – Senior Screening Nurse
Following a positive recommendation from the UK National Screening Committee and the successful delivery of a pilot in the North Rhondda area, the Welsh Government has approved the implementation of Lung Screening Wales as a new national screening programme. This represents a significant development for healthcare in Wales and offers an exciting opportunity for compassionate, motivated and innovative individuals to play a key role in delivering this important service.
We are seeking to recruit two Senior Screening Nurses to support the development and implementation of Lung Screening Wales. In the initial phase, post holders will contribute to service planning and pathway development while providing nursing support across the Screening Division. Working across screening programmes will broaden their understanding of population health and the contribution of screening to improving outcomes, reducing health inequalities, and delivering the Duty of Quality.
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to service planning and pathway development
- Provide nursing support across the Screening Division
- Support the planning and delivery of the risk assessment element of the lung cancer screening pathway
- Ensure high-quality clinical standards and support continuous service improvement
