Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
We have an exciting opportunity to join the Cardiology management team on Wards 3 South, 4 North West and Coronary Care Unit.
Our team strives for high-quality standards ensuring that the department is safe, patients' needs are met, and we are proactive in the wellbeing of our staff. We lead with compassion and work to develop the service and others we care and work with.
3 South and 4 North West currently have 57 beds commissioned including 6 Coronary Care Beds. Within the Coronary Care Unit, you will be expected to care for acutely unwell patients such as post-Myocardial Infarction who require interventions such as Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump and CPAP. Cardiology is fast-paced and is on the cutting edge of technology, providing excellent cardiology experience for staff caring for patients undergoing cardiology procedures: angiograms, angioplasty including the Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention service, ablations, cardiac devices, and various cardiac valve-related procedures.
The nursing dependency of the patients is diverse with direct transfers from the regional general hospitals and emergency pathways running through our department and as such is dependent on the clinical skills of trained and motivated nurses.
