2 weeks ago
We are a happy, supportive multidisciplinary team based in the West area of the beautiful county of Cornwall, primarily looking after patients with chronic lung disease and breathlessness. We work closely with GPs and the acute hospital sites to keep our patients as independent and healthy as possible at home, supporting them to understand and manage the symptoms of their condition and enjoy the best quality of life.
We have a current vacancy for a motivated band 6 clinician (Nurse or AHP) who either has experience in respiratory care or would like to specialise in the field.
This is a community-based role that requires frequent travel to various locations throughout the county including areas that may not be accessible by public transportation. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate how they will manage these travel requirements.
This job is currently only open to people who already work for the NHS in Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly.
We are committed to supporting our dedicated staff, so only current employees of the following organisations can apply:
Cornwall Foundation Trust
Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust
Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board
If you do not currently work for one of these NHS organisations, your application will not be considered at this time.
Assessing patients with chronic respiratory disease in their own home or community clinic.
Advising primary care or other generalists in specialist management of respiratory patients.
Monitoring disease progression and clinical need through arterial blood gas sampling and interpretation, spirometry.
Specialist management of symptoms such as chronic breathlessness, airway secretions, cough and medicines optimisation.
Home oxygen assessment and review of prescriptions, both long-term and ambulatory.
Integrated working with other specialist HCPs within the team (OT, physio, SLT, dietetics, support workers and administrator) and wider system (GPs, practice and community nursing and therapies, acute site clinicians and consultants) to share skills and ensure the patient receives seamless care.
We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use out services.
