NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Registered Adult Nurse/ AHP to join the dynamic, fast paced Orthopaedic department based primarily within Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.
You must be registered on Sub-part 1: RN1 of the UK NMC Register or hold the equivalent AHP registration and should ideally have experience in the speciality of Orthopaedics and Trauma. However, consideration will be given to applicants who have not worked within this speciality, as we are keen to build a team which shares our passion and enthusiasm for patient care.
The role involves participating in ongoing local and national orthopaedic audit & surveillance programmes and collecting data to agreed protocols. The post holder will work autonomously providing continuing specialist assessment of joint replacement and hip fracture patients both as inpatients and by telephone post discharge. The post holder is also responsible for undertaking other relevant clinical audit and surveillance programmes that contribute to evidence-based practice, informing the multi-disciplinary team and improving the quality of care delivered to the patients.
We are seeking to recruit a registered nurse or AHP equivalent, with extensive post registered orthopaedic experience, who has the ability to work autonomously and as part of a team of Clinical Audit Facilitators.
The role requires commitment to quality in governance and practice, excellent communication skills with attention to detail.
