Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic registered nurse or biomedical scientist to join the Trust's Blood Transfusion Team at an exciting time whilst we implement a Trust-wide blood tracking solution and deliver a new electronic health record (EPIC).

You will be expected to liaise with all levels of staff involved in the transfusion process. The ability to work autonomously as well as part of a team is essential.

You will also be a clear thinker, able to prioritise and use leadership skills to manage and develop the service further.

You will be responsible for leading on effective patient blood management, safe transfusion practice, education and training, adverse incident management and national and local audits related to transfusion practice from the laboratory to the patient's bedside.

You will be supported in your role by experienced and knowledgeable colleagues and will have every opportunity to develop in your professional role.

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust comprises five of the UK's best known hospitals - Guy's, St Thomas', Evelina London Children's Hospital, Royal Brompton and Harefield - as well as community services in Lambeth and Southwark, all with a long history of high quality care, clinical excellence, research and innovation.

We are among the UK's busiest, most successful foundation trusts.

We provide specialist care for patients including heart and lung, cancer and renal services as well as a full range of local hospital and community services for people in Lambeth and Southwark.

We have around 22,700 staff, making us one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and one of the biggest employers locally.

We aim to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve and continue to develop new and existing partnerships with local people, patients, neighbouring NHS organisations, local authorities and charitable bodies and GPs.

The role involves promoting safe blood transfusion in the Trust.

You will be required to lead on training and competencies, audits, incident investigation, policy writing and managing administrative staff in the absence of the senior practitioner.
