Registered Nurse - Pre Assessment and Outpatients
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Registered Nurse to join a busy Pre-Assessment and Outpatients team. You will provide safe, effective and compassionate care to patients attending for pre-operative assessment, outpatient appointments and a range of planned investigations or procedures.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will undertake comprehensive nursing assessments, review medical histories, identify clinical risks and ensure patients are appropriately prepared for surgery or treatment. You will carry out observations, clinical investigations and relevant screening, escalate concerns promptly and contribute to the development of individualised care plans. You will also provide clear information, advice and reassurance to patients and their relatives, helping them to understand their treatment pathway and prepare for the next stage of care.
Responsibilities will include supporting outpatient clinics, maintaining accurate and contemporaneous records, administering medicines within your competence, assisting with clinical procedures and maintaining high standards of infection prevention and control. You will promote patient safety, privacy, dignity and equality at all times, while contributing to service improvement, audit and the effective coordination of patient flow.
You must be a registered nurse with current professional registration and experience in an acute, outpatient, pre-operative assessment or similar clinical setting. The role requires sound clinical judgement, excellent communication skills and the ability to work calmly and effectively in a fast-paced environment. You should be confident working independently while recognising when to seek advice or escalate concerns.
A commitment to continuing professional development is essential, alongside a willingness to support students, new colleagues and the wider team. You will need strong organisational skills, attention to detail and a flexible approach to meet the changing needs of the service. In return, you will have the opportunity to develop your specialist knowledge while delivering high-quality, patient-centred care across a varied clinical environment.
