Our trust has over 17,000 staff serving 2 million patients every year. It comprises Barnet Hospital, Chase Farm Hospital, the Royal Free Hospital, North Middlesex University Hospital and more than 30 services in the community. This larger scale organisation provides an unprecedented opportunity for us to continue our pioneering work, particularly in finding ways to deliver even better care to our patients.
Our mission is to deliver world class care and expertise in our clinical services, underpinned by world class teaching and research. We will continue to measure our progress against our five governing objectives: excellent outcomes, excellent patient and staff experience, excellent value for taxpayers’ money, being safe and meeting our external duties, and building a strong organisation.
Everyone is welcome at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. We're proud of our diversity and we continue to undertake new initiatives to advance equality for LGBT+, BME, gender equality, staff carers and people with disabilities and lived experiences to promote good relations and understanding between our staff.
The Urgent Treatment Centre at Chase Farm is a forward thinking, dynamic, friendly environment offering a 7 day walk in service for both minor injuries and minor illnesses.
As an ENP or ECP in our UTC you will have autonomy for patient care but be part of an innovative expert multi-disciplinary team comprising of nurses, paramedics, EDAs and GPs. You will work in a fast-paced environment with a broad variety of patient presentations and at times dealing with emergency and unexpected situations.
As an ENP you will be at the forefront of pioneering and innovative ways to deliver world class care, in a state-of-the-art, modern hospital, using the latest technology.
Main duties of the job
Being an ENP/ECP at Chase Farm Hospital is empowering, unique, and dynamic. You will be providing emergency care to our local population at our stand-alone, state of the art and pioneering (UTC). The service you provide is critical to see, diagnose, treat, discharge, or refer both walk-in and ambulatory patients whose injuries or illnesses are not so serious as to need full emergency department care. You will see a wide assortment of presentations and provide professional advice to patients, carers, and colleagues; this means you will consult patients independently but seek clinical advice and support where or if required. While you have clinical autonomy and need to ‘think on your feet’ you will also be part of an expert multi-disciplinary team - together you will ensure the provision of clinical excellence to patients and contribute to reducing emergency room admissions to our other hospitals.
Working for our organisation
At the Royal Free London, our mission is to be world class in the provision of care and treatment to our local and wider population, clinical research and teaching excellence. We aim to deliver kind and compassionate care in all three of our hospitals and satellite areas, to improve lives and help people thrive. We have over 10,000 staff across our various sites, all working towards the same aim which is to ensure our patients receive the very best care.
You will work with lots of different people from diverse backgrounds all performing different roles giving you a great opportunity to learn and develop. Patients are at the heart of everything we do, and pivotal to the successful delivery of our aims are our emergency nurse/care practitioners, whose decisive, resilient and caring nature ensures that patients receive the very best care in their local urgent care centres.
Working at Chase Farm Urgent Treatment Centre also gives you access to the latest technology to deliver excellent patient care. So, we’re looking for innovators and game changers that want the opportunity to deliver the highest quality of patient focused care; and be part of a team and environment that champions innovation and continuous improvement.
