3 weeks ago

Leicester, United Kingdom University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust Full time

Here at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, we are committed to developing our Pre-Operative pathways to ensure we are delivering high quality care as standard for patients who are preparing for surgery.

We have secured funding for a Senior Nurse / Allied Health Practitioner with current experience within Pre-Operative Assessment to join us as a Lead. This fixed term post will work across multiple teams and specialities to ensure that we are delivering good care across all of our clinical areas.

Working with a vision of “delivering excellence in everything we do”, the Lead Nurse/Practitioner for Pre-Operative Assessment will work alongside the clinical and nursing leads, Transformation Teams, Heads of Nursing and their deputies and the Trusts corporate teams. It’s an exciting opportunity to provide professional leadership to the Nursing and AHP Service with the aim of standardising Pre-Operative Assessment and preparation for surgery.

This role will require the applicant to be experienced in working with teams and supporting them through change. We are expecting to commence a pilot of digital surgical consent before the end of this year, and believe that efficiencies can be made by standardising and reviewing our patient’s pathways with the overall vision of a centralised team and service.

Lead and develop the Pre-Operative Assessment service here in Leicester, help us set standards of care and promote a holistic approach across all our teams in regard to care management and delivery. As the lead, you will need to work autonomously, provide clinical leadership and specialist knowledge and skills that enable the delivery of the highest quality, Pre-Operative care.

The Lead Quality Nurse/Practitioner will be a strong clinical leader within the Trusts POA services, easily identifiable, highly visible and accessible to patients, carers and staff. You will have a particular responsibility to support the developments of Clinical Governance and Service Improvement, to modernise patient services and ensure the active involvement of patients and carers in the way services are developed, delivered and evaluated across multiple pathways and speciality pathways.

Leading by example you will drive up standards of clinical care and have the authority to get the essential components of care right for patients - clean departments, quality care, ensuring patients are treated with dignity and respect, ensuring high standards are maintained throughout the Trusts POA pathway.

We are one of the biggest and busiest NHS trusts in the country, incorporating the General, Glenfield and Royal Infirmary hospitals. We have our very own Children’s Hospital and run one of the country’s leading heart centres.

Our team is made up of more than 17,000 staff providing a range of services primarily for the one million residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
We work with partners at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.

Our purpose is to provide ‘Caring at its best’ and our staff have helped us create a set of values that embody who we are and what we’re here to do. They are:

- We focus on what matters most
- We treat others how we would like to be treated
- We are passionate and creative in our work
- We do what we say we are going to do
- We are one team and we are best when we work together

Our patients are at the heart of all we do and we believe that ‘Caring at its best’ is not just about the treatments and services we provide, but about giving our patients the best possible experience.
