Registered Nurse - Endoscopy
An exciting opportunity is available for a dedicated Registered Nurse to join a busy Endoscopy team. This role is suited to a compassionate and organised nurse who is committed to delivering safe, high-quality care throughout the patient journey, from admission and preparation through to recovery and discharge.
You will undertake comprehensive patient assessments, obtain relevant medical histories and ensure that individuals are appropriately prepared for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Working closely with the multidisciplinary team, you will support the delivery of endoscopic procedures, maintaining patient dignity, privacy and comfort at all times. You will also monitor patients before, during and after procedures, recognising and escalating any changes in condition promptly.
Key responsibilities will include administering medication in accordance with local policies, assisting with sedation and monitoring, maintaining accurate clinical records, and providing clear information and reassurance to patients and their relatives. You will contribute to infection prevention and control standards, safe handling of equipment, stock management and the maintenance of a clean and efficient clinical environment. Following procedures, you will provide appropriate discharge advice and ensure patients understand any follow-up arrangements.
The successful candidate will be a Registered Nurse with current professional registration and relevant post-registration experience. Experience in endoscopy, gastroenterology, theatres, recovery or another acute clinical setting is desirable. You should have a sound understanding of patient safety, medicines management, safeguarding and infection control, together with the ability to recognise and respond to clinical deterioration.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as is the ability to work effectively as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team. You will be expected to demonstrate professionalism, compassion, initiative and attention to detail, while managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. A commitment to continuing professional development and service improvement is also required.
This role offers the opportunity to develop specialist endoscopy knowledge and contribute meaningfully to a high standard of patient care. Applicants must be willing to participate in relevant training and work flexibly to meet the needs of the service, including occasional varied shifts where required.
