Specialist Nurse

A new working challenge and career development opportunity has arisen for an experienced registered nurse to join our teams working within the specialist areas of Endocrinology and Medical Bone.

What Could Your Day Look Like?

• Direct clinical activity engaging with patients and carers mainly with an out-patient setting using the hybrid models of face to face consultations and telephone consultations.
• Indirect clinical activity participating in investigation organisation and reporting, Fracture Liaison Service provision, virtual reviews, communication with the MDT and primary care.
• Preserved time for both personal learning and development and service development.

How Would We Support You?

• An intense induction period will be provided to support you develop knowledge of both specialty areas and the systems of work and processes currently in use to deliver safe and effective care.
• Support to develop the key skills and attributes of the Clinical Nurse Specialist Pathway.
