Respiratory Readmissions Nurse

We are looking for a highly motivated nurse who is experienced in the care of people with chronic lung conditions. They will be responsible for the coordination of care of inpatients at Nottingham University Hospital who have been admitted with an exacerbation of COPD/ILD/bronchiectasis/asthma who are deemed as a respiratory readmission or at high risk of readmission.

They will work across respiratory medicine at Nottingham University Hospitals within the COPD nurse specialist team and will also work closely with other respiratory nurse specialist teams and members of the MDT. They will be expected to work independently with confidence as this forms a considerable part of the role.

As part of this role visits to the patients home may be required so a full driving license is essential. Attendance at community MDTs will also be expected.

With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.

Come and join our wonderful team at NUH. We are big believers in diversity and welcome new ideas to help develop our team in order to deliver world class healthcare to the vast patient populations we serve. With endless personal development opportunities available, at NUH we will endeavour to turn your job into a career!

We particularly welcome applications from people who identify as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, or Disabled, as we are striving to be better represented at NUH.
