Paediatric Nurse - Children's Outpatients
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHSFT
We are looking for a dedicated person to take responsibility for the efficient and effective organisation of the outpatient's department, managing the nursing team and delivering service in a busy, purpose-built Children's outpatient's department for West Norfolk and surrounding areas.
You will assist in delivering a family-centred, clinically effective, and dynamic service for the children and young people who use the service, including signposting and referring where appropriate.
Support the MDT and external service providers, as there are outpatient clinics provided by visiting consultants from tertiary units, including orthopaedics, cardiology and surgery, renal and urology.
Main duties of the job
1. Provide quality care to children in partnership with families and carers who attend the outpatient department.
2. Clinically assess children and young people, seeking assistance when required. Clinical skills such as venepuncture and competencies in accessing central lines would be beneficial.
3. Support the provision of evidence-based care for children and young people with a variety of conditions in partnership with children, families, and the MDT including non-QEH providers.
4. Maintain accurate patient documentation in compliance with Nursing and Midwifery Council Standards for Records and Record Keeping.
5. Communicate effectively with CYP, parents/carers, and the wider MDT to ensure continuity of care, providing advice and demonstration teaching to parents where appropriate.
6. Demonstrate awareness of safeguarding issues, assess risk, and refer to professional teams as appropriate.
