3 weeks ago

West Bromwich, Sandwell, United Kingdom Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust Full time

Position Overview

Are you dedicated to enhancing cancer care? Do you possess a dynamic and empathetic approach along with exceptional communication abilities? Are you eager to pursue a career in Advanced Practice?

With the establishment of a new acute healthcare facility, we are seeking to broaden our Advanced Practice-oriented Acute Oncology Service. This is a remarkable opportunity to become part of a team, whether as a qualified Advanced Practitioner or as a trainee. The service will transition to a front-facing model, collaborating closely with the emergency department and Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) to ensure that patients presenting with Acute Oncology issues receive the highest quality of timely care through specialized input upon arrival.

Key Responsibilities

Your role will involve providing expert input for patients experiencing complications related to their cancer or its treatment. While the primary focus will be at the front door, responsibilities will also encompass ward evaluations and support for the chemotherapy day unit. The Acute Oncology Service serves as a vital link between the healthcare facility and the patients' cancer treatment centers.

Once fully trained and certified, you will be expected to accurately assess and manage complex patient presentations to a high professional standard.

You will also need to demonstrate excellent communication skills to effectively discuss patient care with a diverse range of multidisciplinary team members, including the patients' primary consultant teams.

Collaborate with a dedicated Acute Oncology Team to ensure optimal care is delivered to our patients.

About Our Organization

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust is an integrated healthcare organization with a substantial budget and a workforce exceeding 7,000 staff members. Our commitment to diversity and social care is central to our mission, as we provide both Community and Acute Services to a large urban population facing significant health challenges.

Our new acute hospital is set to provide care to the local community from state-of-the-art, purpose-built facilities, and the base of this role may transition as the new hospital develops. This transition will play a crucial role in the regeneration of the surrounding area and in enhancing the lives of local residents while addressing health disparities.

We are guided by three emerging strategic objectives:

  • Our People: to foster and maintain a happy, productive, and engaged workforce.
  • Our Patients: to excel in all aspects of care delivery.
  • Our Population: to collaborate seamlessly with partners to enhance community health.
