The selected candidate will undergo a thorough orientation program, with comprehensive training in Ophthalmic practices provided.

The ideal candidate will exhibit a thorough holistic evaluation of patients, employing a range of advanced clinical competencies while serving as a role model in accordance with the Oculoplastic Nurse Specialist role.

You will be responsible for assessing and diagnosing specific symptoms within your professional scope. You will provide guidance to medical and nursing personnel and/or prescribe medications based on patient needs, documenting findings in medical records, and reassessing as necessary.

Key Responsibilities

Our Oculoplastic service caters to over 20,000 patients annually as a sub-specialty within the broader Ophthalmology service, which serves approximately 180,000 patients each year.

We conduct Minor Operations (outpatient procedures), face-to-face consultations, and training sessions. The team is led by four consultants and a fully established Specialist Nursing team.

You will assist in the clean room, clinics, and other nursing-related tasks, working across various settings to deliver Oculoplastic services.

The bustling Ophthalmology department includes an ambulatory Day Case Unit that provides pre- and post-operative care for over 60 patients daily, alongside two extensive outpatient clinics, Orthoptics, Optometry, and an Emergency Eye department, offering care and treatment for a diverse range of Ophthalmic conditions.

The Ophthalmology team provides a comprehensive array of specialized services to ensure a timely, safe, and effective patient journey.

  • Encourage enhancements in quality and clinical effectiveness while adhering to resource limitations.
  • Conduct relevant clinics for your service to meet performance benchmarks within your specialty.
  • Serve as a positive role model by providing effective professional leadership in relevant clinical areas and demonstrating competent and accountable clinical practice.
  • Act as an advisor/educator and role model to less experienced medical professionals, nurses, and therapists to ensure appropriate care is planned, executed, and evaluated.
  • Be accountable for your professional practice and development, ensuring compliance with the NMC and the Code of Professional Conduct or other relevant regulatory bodies.
  • Support junior staff in achieving the same standards.
  • Facilitate the supervision of post-registration health professionals, students, and all learners wishing to expand their knowledge in your specialty.
  • Participate in cross-site collaboration to deliver equitable care for all patients within your specialty.
