Staff Nurse - D.M.E - Ward 21

Ward 21 is an acute medical ward for the elderly with a bed capacity of 30. We are looking for a staff nurse who is passionate, conscientious and motivated to make a difference.

This post will give you the opportunity to have a voice within nursing, have input into the priorities and strategies for ward 21, and that of the Trust as a whole. This will help drive us forward as an enthusiastic and inspirational team.

We strive to deliver a comfortable atmosphere for all patients and relatives whilst providing a very high standard of care.

We also enforce the beliefs behind John's Campaign where Ward 21 is working closely with our Dementia Matron and her team to ensure we have an appropriate environment and that all staff are highly trained to provide excellent innovative dementia friendly care., We are open to RN Nurses applying as we feel there is room for the skills and expertise due to the increasing patients admitted with delirium and other cognitive impairment. We feel by having adapted and specialised skills on the ward we can deliver what we promise.

We are proud of the care that we provide, and we strive to embed the 6 Cs in all we do. We want to be the best in all that is nursing including dementia care, falls, pressure ulcer prevention and end of life care. We want to ensure our most vulnerable patients receive the support and care they deserve.

We have implemented SAFER on the ward to help improve patient flow, accommodate discharges and prioritise patients within our speciality.

All new colleagues can expect to receive a warm and friendly Wirral welcome from the very first time they make contact with us. We are described as "competent and caring staff" by our patients.
