The NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Cardiac Rehabilitation Service exists to deliver high quality person centre rehabilitation to cardiac patients and their carers, referred to the acute Division.

The key responsibilities of the service are to provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment to a diverse range of conditions and patient types, in a variety of environments. Therapeutic management utilises a range of physical, behavioural and cognitive modalities to regain function following surgery, illness, injury, dysfunction or disease. This includes the management of critically ill patients whose survival and recovery depends on appropriate physiotherapy intervention. There is also a key role in health promotion and self management.  You will take a systematic and comprehensive patient history, determining the clinical cardiovascular status, risk factors and psychosocial needs of patients and analyse and interpret the outcomes of investigations, taking into account a range of options and participate in the development of specialist programmes of nursing care for patients in order to facilitate their optimal and safe recovery.   You will collaborate with patients to plan, implement and evaluate specialist programmes of care for cardiac patients , utilising all available resources taking into consideration the lifestyle, gender and cultural background and ensure involvement with the patient, family, carers and significant others.  Using motivational and negotiation skills empower patients to take responsibility for their health, well-being and future lifestyle by practising in an open transparent and inclusive manner; thereby ensuring patients have the relevant information to participate in decisions about their care.  It is essential that you are currently a Registered Nurse with the NMC and that you have relevant post registration experience.  You should have relevant experience within Cardiology or Cardiac surgery.  The shift pattern for this post is 8.00am - 4.00pm.
