Trafford Elective Surgical Hub (TESH) is a newly established service aimed to increase surgical capacity, whilst focusing on embracing the High Volume Low Complexity (HVLC) programme to help reduce the backlog of patients waiting for planning operations.
We are a busy elective hub which provides a variety of specialties namely: General Surgery, Trauma and Orthopaedic, Gynaecology, Ear Nose and Throat (ENT), Adult and Paediatric Dental, Urology, Breast, Plastics, Vascular Access and Gender Affirmation Surgery. Recently we have introduced Day case Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and Thyroid cases which has been a success as it enabled us to improve patients' recovery period.
We have nine theatres in total and are located in three areas with their own recovery area. We are closely linked with Ward 12, the surgical admission unit, and we provide a combination of day case and inpatient care.
You'll support the Team Managers to ensure the delivery of high-quality care, and support the wider nursing team as an advocate and role model.
We are looking to recruit staff that are open, honest and focused on striving for excellence, having built an enviable international reputation on five unwavering principles for clinical excellence, research and development, teaching, learning and for treating patients with compassion, respect and dignity. You'll be part of a team continuously growing and learning together with patient care at the centre of your role.
