Registered Nurse - Pre Assessment and Outpatients
An exciting opportunity is available for a Registered Nurse to join a busy Pre-Assessment and Outpatients service. This role will suit a compassionate, organised and clinically confident nurse who is committed to delivering safe, effective and patient-centred care throughout the assessment and outpatient journey.
You will undertake comprehensive pre-operative assessments, reviewing patients’ medical histories, current medication, clinical observations and relevant investigations. Working closely with patients, consultants, anaesthetists and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will identify potential risks, escalate concerns appropriately and help ensure patients are suitably prepared for planned procedures. You will provide clear information and reassurance, answer questions, and support patients to make informed decisions about their care.
Within the outpatient setting, you will support the smooth running of clinics and deliver high standards of nursing care across a range of specialties. Duties may include assisting with clinical procedures, wound care, health assessments, patient education, chaperoning, maintaining accurate documentation and coordinating follow-up arrangements. You will also contribute to infection prevention, medicines management, safeguarding and the continuous improvement of clinical services.
Applicants must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and have relevant post-registration experience, ideally within pre-assessment, outpatients, surgical services or a similar clinical environment. You should have sound knowledge of patient assessment, clinical risk management and evidence-based nursing practice, together with the ability to recognise and respond to changing patient needs.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as is the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. You will be expected to prioritise competing demands, maintain confidentiality and demonstrate a professional, supportive approach at all times. In return, you will have the opportunity to develop your specialist skills within a varied service focused on delivering high-quality patient care.
