Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a nurse experienced in perioperative care to join the Inpatient Diabetes Team based within MRI. The main focus is on improving perioperative care for diabetes patients within St. Mary’s (SMH) and Royal Eye hospital (REH).
The ideal candidate will have experience working on a surgical ward and a good understanding of the issues faced by diabetic patients undergoing elective and emergency surgery. The role will deliver support to patients during their perioperative journey and also involve an educational element with a focus on disseminating knowledge around perioperative diabetes care to colleagues across SMH and REH.
This post will be part of the MRI inpatient diabetes team and will work alongside the MRI Perioperative DSN in delivering high standards of care to diabetes patients undergoing elective and emergency surgery within SMH and REH.
Main duties of the job
We require an experienced nurse to join a friendly team of diabetes professionals in our Diabetes service. Effective communication skills are essential, and being able to work both within a team environment and independently; organizing and prioritizing individual workload is crucial to this role. Experience managing diabetes care is essential as is a willingness to learn new skills appropriate to the post.
The post will be suitable for nurses working within a diabetes specialist area or with diabetes patients who may want to expand their skills but would also be suitable for an experienced nurse who can demonstrate a strong interest in diabetes and is willing to develop their skills and knowledge in diabetes care.
The post holder must be able to demonstrate excellent clinical, communication, and interpersonal skills in order to maintain the excellent standards of diabetes care our patients expect.
The role requires this professional to work within a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, and be able to provide on-site weekend cover, on a rotational basis.
