Registered Nurse - Pre Assessment and Outpatients
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a compassionate and organised Registered Nurse to join a Pre-Assessment and Outpatients team. This role is suited to a motivated nurse who is committed to delivering safe, effective and patient-centred care across a varied outpatient environment.
You will undertake comprehensive pre-operative assessments, reviewing patients’ medical history, medications, observations and clinical needs to determine their readiness for surgery. Working closely with medical, surgical and anaesthetic colleagues, you will identify potential risks, arrange appropriate investigations and ensure that patients are fully prepared for their treatment. You will provide clear information and reassurance to patients and their families, helping them to understand the proposed procedure, admission arrangements and recovery expectations.
Within the outpatient setting, you will support the delivery of high-quality clinics and procedures, undertaking clinical assessments, assisting with investigations and providing nursing care in line with professional standards. Duties may include wound care, removal of sutures or clips, health education, post-procedure advice and the accurate recording of clinical information. You will recognise and escalate any concerns promptly, contributing to safe discharge and continuity of care.
The successful candidate will hold current UK NMC registration and have post-registration experience in an acute, outpatient, surgical or pre-operative environment. You will have sound clinical knowledge, excellent assessment and communication skills, and the ability to work confidently both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Experience of pre-operative assessment, outpatient procedures or relevant clinical pathways would be advantageous.
You will be expected to maintain accurate documentation, follow infection prevention and safeguarding procedures, support audit and quality improvement, and contribute to the supervision and development of colleagues and learners. A flexible, professional and patient-focused approach is essential, along with the ability to prioritise effectively in a busy clinical environment.
In return, you will have the opportunity to develop your specialist nursing skills within a supportive team committed to delivering excellent patient care.
