Welcome to Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and thank you for your interest.
In addition to receiving tertiary referrals from across the South East of England, we have a network of ‘spoke’ sites at district general hospitals enabling our consultants to offer their expertise with routine treatments and consultations as close to patients’ homes as possible. With the recent addition of video-led ‘virtual’ consultations, we also enable patients who have some distance to travel to avoid the additional stress and worry of a long journey.
Working at QVH combines the excitement, challenge, and career opportunities of many larger organisations with the satisfaction of delivering excellent patient care that really does re-build our patients’ lives.
We also offer attractive benefits such as:
* Tailored personal development to support career aspirations, including accredited clinical and management development programmes.
* Flexible working arrangements for a work-life balance that suits you and your needs.
* A dedicated reward programme, offering a range of national and local discounts, cashback, and tax relief schemes.
Sustainability
At Queen Victoria Hospital, we want to be the first Net Zero Hospital in England, and to achieve that, we want every member of staff to be a green champion. The way in which the Trust works has a significant impact on the organisation’s carbon footprint and that of our patients. From the heat, light, and power supplies within the hospital to avoiding unnecessary patient journeys, the Trust is empowering all staff to create a sustainable health and care environment for future generations. The Trust expects all staff to reuse and recycle more, to use energy and water efficiently, to walk or cycle to work if they can, and to have a focus on sustainability in the workplace.
The post holder will be responsible for implementing and evaluating the provision of high-quality, evidence-based, multi-professional training and education to all primary and secondary services within the catchment area of the Burns Service (regional area), in relation to the initial management and referral of patients with a burn injury.
