The Discharge Lounge is a fast paced and dynamic department at the John Radcliffe Hospital, caring for patients from a wide variety of wards, continuing the patient pathway between inpatient area and discharge destination.
Nursing and Midwifery at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has a rich tradition of developing nursing and midwifery practice and of delivering excellence in patient care. Whilst proud of our heritage, our focus is the future and central to our vision is providing evidence-based individualised care to the people we support.
Nursing and Midwifery at Oxford is an exciting and dynamic place to be a clinician, researcher, educator, and leader but is only as innovative as the people in our amazing teams. Whilst providing evidence-based individualised care is core to everything we do, we are also deeply committed to caring for and developing each through staff being encouraged to undertake further study within their speciality area.
Our aim is to be the best at what we do through our research and innovation initiatives and partnerships; rather than just say we're the best, be able to prove it! The Trust is a founding member of The Oxford Institute for Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Research (OxINMAHR).
