London, United Kingdom University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Due to expansion we are looking to appoint a Specialist Screening Practitioner (SSP) for the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme to work alongside other SSP’s providing care for participants of the programme. This is an opportunity for someone with a particular interest in bowel cancer and/or screening who would like to expand their nursing role.

You will have been registered as a nurse for at least 3 years. Experience of Endoscopy or GI nursing is desirable. Applications from previous or current SSPs are welcome.

It is an exciting time to join us and play a leading role in the expansion of bowel cancer screening, based at UCLH, working across NCL.

The role will involve co-ordinating care, working autonomously and addressing the needs of individuals that arise as a consequence of the screening programme.

It will also entail detailed and accurate data entry into local and national databases.

The post holder will require excellent communication skills and a flexible approach to their work.

We are a nurse led service and work closely with a team of doctors administrators who are each passionate about screening and its potential to diagnose cancer at its earliest stages and even before it develops. We want as many people as possible from all groups to benefit from this life-changing programme.

UCLH has been the designated Bowel Cancer Screening Centre for the North Central London Sector since 2007, covering Camden, Islington, Haringey, Enfield and Barnet. This national programme is currently in the process of extending the age group covered, moving from the starting age of 60 down to 50 by April 2024. We are also committed to increasing the numbers of people who participate in the programme amongst groups that tend to be less likely to complete the bowel screening test.

We value and promote diversity and equality in the workplace.

**This involves initial nurse-led assessment clinics**: arrangement of colonoscopies for patients within designated Bowel Screening colonoscopy sessions, and to attend colonoscopy with them.

They will provide clinics to discuss colonoscopy outcomes; including cancer diagnoses. Our nurses are the patient advocate, providing the information necessary to ensure that patients are able to make informed choices at all stages of the screening process.

Our team of SSPs are responsible for ensuring that all activity is recorded on both local and national databases for audit and quality assurance purposes.

For more information regarding the main responsibilities of the role, please refer to the attached Job Description.
