An exciting opportunity has arisen for a junior sister to join the Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC) in Maple Center which has opened in October 2022 to join our dedicated and dynamic team which provides same-day emergency care for patients at our hospital. This means that patients are assessed, treated, and can go home the same day without being admitted overnight.
It is a way of providing safe care, designed for the needs of the patient. The service also aims to prevent unnecessary admissions and provide a better experience for patients.
Responsibilities:
- Supporting the Senior Sister: Facilitate the daily activities and support staff nurses to deliver the highest standards of care in SDEC.
- Collaboration: Closely working with other specialist services such as Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT), Veno-thromboembolism (VTE), Bridging Clinic, Frailty Team, and Emergency Surgical Clinic (ESC).
- Advanced Care: Opportunities to work with Advanced Care Professionals (ACP) and clinical specialist nurses.
Requirements:
- Strong focus on improving patient experience and care.
- Ability to work inter-professionally across boundaries.
