Tissue Viability Specialist Nurse

An exciting opportunity is available for an enthusiastic and motivated Registered Nurse to join the Tissue Viability Team in UHL.

The Tissue Viability service provides advice and support on the management of complex wounds across the Trust. We work clinically together with ward-based staff to ensure the best outcomes for our patients and have a strong focus on education. A passion for the prevention of pressure ulceration and wound care is essential.

We will support you to develop into an expert practitioner in Tissue Viability, such as providing opportunity for sharp debridement course and other relevant education.

Act as the clinical expert and professional resource to the patients and carers and multi-professional team.

Manage own caseload, under the supervision of the specialist Sister. Work alongside Tissue Viability lead / other specialist nurses to ensure the development and delivery of a high quality service. Directly or indirectly influence all aspects of care and management of patients within the service/speciality. Deliver high quality, clinically effective care, and patient experience, utilising best practice and research, in collaboration with colleagues in everyday practice. Act as a role model and clinical resource demonstrating high standards of care and providing clinical leadership in the specialist area. Support the development and delivery of a programme of practice and professional development for staff within the speciality.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

high-quality care for all, being a great place to work, partnerships for impact, and research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

we are compassionate, we are proud, we are inclusive, and we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
