Registered Nurse - Elective Orthopaedic Suite

Are you a Registered Nurse who wishes to be part of a team that delivers outstanding care?

The Division of Surgery, Anaesthetics & Critical Care is an integral part of Sherwood Forest Hospitals.We comprise specialist wards for various surgical disciplines, including colorectal, general surgery, trauma orthopaedics, elective orthopaedics, day case, adult critical care, and theatres. We are a friendly team who work closely together, offering excellent training and education opportunities.

Due to an expansion of the trauma orthopaedic bed base, we have opened a new Elective Orthopaedic Suite. Here, we care for all our elective joint replacement patients pre- and post-operatively in a green ringfenced environment. We promote enhanced recovery, encourage early safe mobilisation, manage pain effectively, and follow up with patients after discharge through our nurse triage system to ensure they continue to recover well in the community.

Thank you for your interest in this role.

Sherwood is nationally recognised as being an excellent place to work and deliver care. We are rightly proud of the 5,500 colleagues who work here and we are the Health Service Journal's Trust of the Year in 2020.
