Royal Liverpool University Hospital (RLUH) - Liverpool University Hospitals Foundation Trust (LUHFT)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, self-motivated dietitian to join our friendly critical care team at LUHFT, to cover the RLUH site. In this post you will work with a part-time band 6 dietitian covering a mixed surgical/medical critical care unit. The new state-of-the-art Critical Care unit has 40 beds, providing care for some of the sickest patients in the region.

The post holder will be part of a wider surgical team comprised of Specialist dietitians for Nutrition Support, HPB, Colorectal, and will provide support for surgical band 6 and band 5 rotational staff as needed.

Clinically the post holder will be responsible for covering a complex and busy in-patient caseload providing specialist nutrition support to critically ill patients and will be expected to attend regular rehab MDT meetings, clinical directorate meetings and ward rounds. The post holder will work closely with the nutrition support team for patients requiring bespoke TPN.

We are looking for a dietitian with excellent communication skills, a practical, forward-thinking approach to service development and the ability to work autonomously and as part of a team. Previous experience providing complex nutrition support in the acute setting is essential and previous experience working within ICU or High Dependency Unit is preferable.

Provide specialist support and advice to junior dietitians and other clinical staff within the Trust whilst maintaining a complex clinical caseload as an autonomous practitioner.

Work closely with the multidisciplinary team consisting of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech & language therapists and clinical psychologist.

Use expert knowledge and extensive clinical experience to lead on the development and strategic planning of the dietetic critical care service.

Identify audits and service evaluation within critical care to drive clinical and service development strategies.

To be responsible for planning and delivering specialist training to junior dietitians, medical staff, nurses, students, and other health care professionals within critical care. In addition to supporting training for local Universities.

Contribute to the development of local policies, guidelines and resources.

The Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Dietetic Department is a large team supported by a team of Dietetic Assistants. This includes Specialists in Surgery, Nephrology, Diabetes, Nutrition Support, Gastroenterology and Infectious diseases.

The department has a well-established Practice Supervision programme for new graduates and is also committed to training other Health Care Professionals and Student Dietitian’s (1,2, and 3 students)

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.
