Description

An exciting opportunity has become available to be part of the Surgical Day Case Unit.

SDCU is a 20 bedded unit, with nurse led/ criteria led admissions and discharge.

The unit can be very fast paced as we can have up to 50 patients coming through the unit in a day.

We have a Treatment room where we run a number of clinics: Bone Marrow clinics, Prostate Assessment and biopsy (Trans-rectal Ultrasound and Local Anesthetic transperineal), Haematuria One stop and Endo -Anal clinics.

We have produced a number of post op care information sheets which are given out at the pre-assessment stage of the patient journey.

You will be advised to familiarize with these as you will need to refer them when performing a nurse led discharge.

Our team is very supportive of new starters on the ward to help develop your new surgical skills. We are able to offer both part time and full-time positions, helping you to manage a work/life balance.
