Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trusts
An exciting opportunity has arisen for enthusiastic and driven band 5 registered nurses with at least 6 months experience to join the growing C30 - Major Trauma Team.
The Major Trauma Unit C30 is currently a specialty level 1 unit with 18 beds. Due to the success of the unit, we are now expanding with 8 additional beds, bringing the total to 26.
C30 can be a fast-paced, dynamic area to work in as we receive patients directly from the Emergency Department (ED), theatre, and critical care, as well as patients who are repatriated from other hospitals.
Major Trauma is a rewarding area to work in, especially when patients who have suffered severe injuries make great progress and go home to their families or further rehabilitation.
We welcome interested applicants to arrange a visit to the unit to meet the friendly, welcoming team that awaits you on C30.
