Bowel Cancer Screening Specialist Screening Practitioner (Nursing Role)
Band 6
Permanent
37.5 Hours per week
We are looking for an experienced registered Nurse who wants to make a difference and play a pivotal role in supporting patients within the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP). If you have excellent communication skills and a desire to support patients throughout their journey of investigation, this may be the role for you.
The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme is a world first amongst screening programmes and the first to offer screening to both men and women. The Merseyside and North Cheshire Programme commenced in 2006 and due to continued development and expansion of the service we are looking to appoint full time Specialist Screening Practitioners who will play a key role in supporting patients through the screening process. We cover a population of almost 1.1 million people. As part of the national programme all men & women aged 54-74 are offered to take part in 2 yearly screening. This age group will be expanded over the next 12 months to include all 50-74 year-olds.
We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic team player. The role is varied and ranges from conducting nurse led clinics, attending colonoscopy sessions, processing histology outcomes and providing results including cancer diagnosis to supporting patients throughout the screening process and engaging in health promotion.
Previous experience and knowledge in the following areas is desirable but not essential; screening, gastroenterology, endoscopy, colorectal, pre-assessment or oncology.
Merseyside & North Cheshire BCSP is based at Aintree Hospital but the post holder will be required to travel to other sites (Warrington, Halton and St Helens Hospitals) as necessary. Full driving license and access to own transport is essential.
The service runs from 8:30am to 4:30pm but the post holder should be flexible as later start and finish times may be required to cover clinical activity of the programme.
Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.
The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
