An exciting and challenging opportunity has arisen for an experienced and highly motivated professional nurses to join our pre-operative assessment team. A commitment to developing high-quality, evidence-based acute care is essential, along with personal drive, enthusiasm, creativity, and resilience.
This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic individual with clinical experience to join an established, dynamic nursing team within pre-operative assessment. The prospective post holder will be a registered nurse who, after appropriate training, can clinically assess, plan, deliver, and evaluate care for patients prior to elective surgery.
The specific working hours and vacancy details will be discussed at interview. The service is based within out-patients at North Manchester General Hospital.
The main objective of the unit is to assess and optimize patients for a wide range of elective surgical specialties. Therefore, the prospective post holder will require broad knowledge, preferably within surgical nursing, although medical knowledge would be advantageous, with at least 18 months experience as a band 5 staff nurse. Previous pre-operative assessment experience would be desirable but is not essential. You should be reliable, innovative, flexible, and possess good interpersonal and communication skills.
You will be expected to undertake clinical observations and provide comprehensive nursing and medical assessments, ensuring all necessary results and reviews are collated prior to admission.
