The diabetes department at the University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) NHS Trust has exciting opportunities for a Band 5 nurse to join the existing nursing team and experience a development programme becoming a band 6 Diabetes Specialist Nurse dependent on successful completion of competencies and specialist education programmes.
The successful candidates will experience working in inpatient and outpatient areas, working alongside the multidisciplinary team and participating in the delivery of integrated care across the hospital trust.
To work in collaboration with other health care professionals within the diabetes team and wider team within the hospital trust
To work in collaboration with patients and their carers to develop individualise care plans providing knowledge and support enable them to self-manage their diabetes
To provide support for all grades of nursing staff in relation to diabetes nursing and to ensure a safe framework for practice is in place and maintained across the trust
To work with patients in different settings, (i.e inpatient and outpatient) providing a service that is sensitive to the needs of the individual person with diabetes
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years
We Have Four Primary Goals
high-quality care for all,
being a great place to work,
partnerships for impact, and
research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
we are compassionate,
we are proud,
we are inclusive, and
we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
