About the Role
We are seeking a Band 6 Registered Nurse to join our enthusiastic, friendly, and well-supported team. This is a permanent, full-time position that includes weekend shifts.
About the Surgical Ambulatory Care Receiving Unit (SACRU)
The SACRU is an ACP-led same-day emergency care assessment unit at Wythenshawe Hospital. It was created to provide a more enhanced patient-focused service and reduce the number of GP referrals coming into ED. It helps to facilitate accelerated ward discharges and reduce the number of unnecessary general surgical admissions. This is a crucial role which will involve working alongside our ACPs, helping to maintain clinical efficiency, patient safety, and ensuring a supportive environment for both staff and patients.
Key Responsibilities
- Assess, plan, evaluate, and deliver all relevant aspects of patient care in a caring, compassionate, and sensitive manner.
- Work closely with the multi-disciplinary team and contribute to the clinical governance process.
- Act as a mentor/preceptor to junior staff, with specific responsibility for pre-registration students.
- Take delegated responsibility for the management of the clinical team and the maintenance of high standards of quality.
- Coordinate the unit and be responsible for the patient flow within the unit.
- Undertake management tasks and assist the unit band 7 with management of nursing staff on SACRU.
- Liaise closely with the ACPs, bed managers, and other departments, so communication skills are essential.
