The successful candidate will have extensive Rheumatology experience and be an autonomous practitioner with advanced clinical expertise and decision-making skills to deliver safe pathways of care. The role will involve case management, running nurse-led clinics and a telephone helpline and liaising with community colleagues. You will lead in the development of robust governance, writing and updating local nursing policies and procedures and evaluating their implementation.


You will act as a role model, championing change and improvement in Rheumatology care.
Work as an expert practitioner responsible for the strategic direction of patient focussed programmes of care, which address the complex and changing health and well-being needs of Rheumatology patients.

Be the budget holder with overall responsibility for the Rheumatology nursing budget.
Assess individuals, families and populations holistically using a range of different methods, some of which may not be usually exercised by nurses such as physical assessment and history taking, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests or advanced health needs assessments.

Maintain strong professional relationships with counterparts within the Rheumatology service, consultant team and Directorate Management team.
