PEOPLE are at the HEART of everything we do
This video gives a flavour of what it is like to work at our Trust and why some of our staff love working here.
There is an exciting opportunity to have a real impact on the care of patients in the Acute Assessment Units and Emergency Departments at BHRUT. We are looking for a Deteriorating Patient and Sepsis Nurse to work alongside the Practice Development Nurses, Clinical Education Leads and the Resuscitation Services to continue our journey to excellence for patients within our services.
You will lead on the quality improvement initiatives related to Deteriorating Patient and the associated audits, preparing and presenting data to inform next steps.
You need to be an excellent communicator with good organisational skills and able to prioritise in a fast-paced environment. You will require excellent analytical skills and the ability to communicate the information in an accessible manner.
Main duties of the job
Identification of the deteriorating patient is a key priority of the Trust and includes the identification and treatment of Sepsis. These are two key areas of the patient safety agenda for the Trust.
The post holder will also support staff in the care delivery for patients in ED and Assessment wards whose condition is deteriorating.
Working for our organisation
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better, and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford.
We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
