About the Ward
C14B is a busy surgical ward, looking after a variety of conditions from liver resections to cholecystitis. We currently have 17 beds and have a broad range of patients who deserve to receive high quality nursing care. We care for patients who are electively undergoing surgery and emergency patients both HPB and colorectal. We are the regional speciality area for HPB surgeries and take patients requiring surgical/specialist interventions from Blackpool and the Fylde Coast, South Lakes and Lancaster.
Role Responsibilities
You will be responsible for the safe, personal and effective care delivery to complex surgical patients, who require support from a wide range of nursing interventions, based on their individual needs. This will be ascertained following a detailed assessment of the patient on transfer to the ward either from the emergency surgical unit, theatre or critical care.
