Heart Failure Health Inequalities

Edmonton, United Kingdom North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust Full time

Are you an experienced cardiac nurse? Are you looking to widen your specialist skills by joining our Community Heart Failure team? Would you like to develop and implement services to address health inequalities? Our team has a new Lead Nurse and recently merged with North Middlesex University Hospital, so this is an exciting time for you to join us. The role involves identification and management of adults at risk of developing, or living with, heart failure in Enfield. You will be working within a multi-disciplinary team and the voluntary care sector to support people who are at risk of admissions to hospital. We hope you will want to join us in ensuring our heart failure specialist community raise awareness of the importance of recognising heart failure symptoms early, getting an accurate diagnosis and ensuring patients receive optimal treatment.

This is a fixed-term contract until March 2023 with a view that this will extend and become permanent with funding from NHSE. This is an ideal secondment opportunity for those with acute cardiac experience to develop their skills and/or those with community heart failure experience.

Main duties of the job

North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust is a medium sized District General Hospital based in Edmonton in Enfield, North London. We serve a diverse multicultural population largely from the London boroughs of Enfield and Haringey. Many of our patients live in wards that are within the 5% most deprived in the UK and a large proportion of our patients were born abroad. This makes it both a fascinating and a challenging hospital to work in.

Over the last decade we have rebuilt almost all of the hospital and now have facilities that we are proud to work in. We employ over 3,500 staff, more than half of whom live locally. We encourage apprenticeships from the local community and work closely with our local Health Watch.

We are primarily an emergency led hospital with more than 90% of our bed days being used for patients admitted via our emergency and ambulatory units. As well as offering everything you would expect from a major acute hospital we have a number of tertiary services treating patients with HIV and Sickle Cell Disease and a large cancer and radiotherapy service. We also run our local community Sexual Health Clinics.

We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George’s University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.

**Main duties**:

- You will hold responsibility for own caseload within this specialty, working without direct supervision.
- You will have access to advice and support from peers, both internally and externally to the Trust, and from the nurse lead and service manager as required.
- You are required to undertake all aspects of clinical duties as an autonomous practitioner.
- To be aware of and manage any clinical governance issues pertaining to own service and to highlight these to nurse consultant
- To delegate supervision where appropriate and supervise junior staff members within the service.
- To assist and support service lead in implementation of specific changes to practice or service protocols in order to improve quality of care to patients.
- Assist and support audit, evaluation and research projects, co-coordinating their implementation to further own and team’s performance
- To contribute to the delivery of health promotion activities within the service and wider Trust initiatives
- To assist as required in recruitment, selection, CPD, discipline and staff development within own service.
- To supervise/mentor student placements within the service.
- To deal with complaints and act as Trust investigator following appropriate training
- Liaise with other agencies in order to deliver and develop more effective Heart Failure service to the community
- To act as deputy in the absence to the nurse lead for service
