Trauma Orthopaedic Nurse Specialist
The Trauma Orthopaedic Nurse Specialist is a senior clinical role within the Trauma and Orthopaedics team at King’s Mill Hospital, focused on delivering expert, patient-centred care for trauma and fracture patients across inpatient, outpatient, and emergency pathways.
The post holder leads the coordination of trauma admissions and patient flow, working closely with consultants and the multidisciplinary team to ensure safe, efficient, and timely treatment. They play a key role in pre-operative optimisation, supporting daily trauma lists, ward rounds, and theatre planning.
A major part of the role involves running the Virtual Fracture Clinic (VFC) and Fracture Liaison Service (FLS), providing follow-up care, patient education, and proactive support to reduce future fractures through osteoporosis and falls prevention.
Alongside direct clinical care, the nurse specialist acts as a role model and educator, supporting staff, patients, and carers, while contributing to audit, quality improvement, and service development.
