Overview
We are a bespoke stroke unit, opened September 2021, which comprises 6 acute beds and 25 rehabilitation beds specialising in acute stroke care and rehabilitation.
We enjoy a close relationship with the multi‑disciplinary team of stroke clinicians, clinical nurse specialists, advanced care practitioners, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and dieticians. As a clinical leader you will be encouraged and supported to proactively engage with these professions to provide the best quality care and outcomes for our patients.
Responsibilities
* Have excellent communication and leadership skills and participate in providing and sharing information throughout the day with patients, relatives, at board rounds and in regular multidisciplinary meetings.
* Support all team members through a proactive approach to manage daily workload and develop delegation skills. Excellent communication and time‑management skills are necessary.
* Be supported to develop nursing skills, additional training and study days. Provide and share information throughout the day.
Work Environment
We operate from three main hospitals — Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal — as well as a number of community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital, GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre. All three hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day‑case and inpatient surgery, and community services are provided in people's homes, community centres, clinics, GP practices and community hospitals.
Our aim is to work with people to help them remain independent, improve their health and manage their conditions through high quality care, advice and support.
