Staff Nurse HDU

HDU is a 24/7 service and you will be expected to work a shift pattern within these hours. Current hours and shift patterns may be subject to change depending on the needs of the Service. The Nurses are supported by a team of Healthcare assistants and administrative staff, and we work very much together to achieve safe care for Level 2 Patients. We are a 6 bedded HDU that cares for Level 2 patients. We look after deteriorating patients from the wards, complex oncology and complex orthopaedic surgeries where the patient may require that extra level of support. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your skills within the Critical Care demographic and develop your skills within this area. You will be supported by the HDU clinical practice facilitator and nursing team to expand your knowledge and skills and complete competencies within Critical care and develop as a High Dependency Nurse. Are you able to help lead on service delivery and development for all staff? Are you a team player, innovative and looking for new ways in which to demonstrate your wider skills? The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital is leading the way and we would love you to be part of our journey. The Post Holder Will
