- To acquire the skills and knowledge to be an accountable person, responsible for managing practice, using an enhanced level of professional accountability, autonomy and judgement for highly complex decision-making across a discrete aspect of patient care in the uro-gynaecology service.
- Through training, develop the ability to work autonomously, using enhanced clinical knowledge and skills, underpinned by theory and experience, to holistically assess patients with often complex conditions, using a range of methods across the specialist service.
- Under supervision, plan and manage care of patients within level of practice, working in partnership with others, to optimise health outcomes and resource use, as well as providing direct support to patients and carers.
- To propose and implement service and policy development and redesign, impacting beyond own area and other disciplines, informed by current best practice and evidence-base, in accordance with values-based care of the trust.
- To act as a resource to others and deliver and evaluate a range of relevant specialist programmes of education and development for individuals and large groups. (including but not limited to GPs and community teams; hospital medical and nursing staff; professions allied to medicine and external agencies).
We are looking for a motivated, forward thinking and dynamic nurse or physiotherapist wanting to gain further experience and knowledge in the field of urogynaecology. The post will offer the successful candidate the opportunity to train as an enhanced practitioner.
The candidate will provide expert care for patients; assessing, planning, implementing and monitoring of care whilst ensuring best practice, evidence-based practice, patient-centred uro-gynaecology care. A key component of the role is facilitating patient empowerment by enabling uro-gynaecology patients to manage their own condition effectively and independently, to prevent complications, and improve their quality of life.
We are aware of the difficulties in accessing clinical experience in this area and so we are willing to support the successful candidate through a developmental competency framework from a band 6 to band 7 post. However, should you already meet the band 7 competencies we will consider offering the position as a band 7.
We are looking for a self-motivated, adaptable and knowledgeable professional who is clinically confident working independently and as part of a team, preferably with experience of working in gynaecology. You will be highly organised with great communication skills to work as part of the multi-disciplinary team.
Whilst full time hours are preferred, a 30 hour/ per week contract may be considered.
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
