Please note that for this post, no newly qualified practitioner for 2024 will be considered for this role.

Do you have a passion for excellence in care?

Do you want to work in an exciting fast paced environment?

Are you looking for opportunities to learn new skills and develop in your career?

The Orthopaedic department cares for a wide variety of patients from those undergoing elective surgery to patients admitted from the emergency department. This patient group facilitates the nursing team with diverse development prospects and excellent opportunities to develop knowledge and skills.

You will utilise a broad range of knowledge and skills in the assessment, planning and implementation of care for this patient group. Including pre and post-operative care and early rehabilitation. Receiving patients directly from ED will allow you to gain skills towards managing the unscheduled care target and safe and efficient flow of the patient journey.
