We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Multiple Sclerosis (MS) nurse to lead our small community MS team in North Northamptonshire.
Our team of specialist clinicians provides support to individuals aged 18 and over who have received a confirmed diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. We take a holistic approach to managing the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis and offer support, education, and advice to both patients and their caregivers from diagnosis and throughout their MS journey.
The team provides links across a range of health care providers and other agencies to support and coordinate care for people with MS, liaising between primary, intermediate, community, and secondary care providers as well as the voluntary sector.
Responsibilities:
1. Work as an autonomous practitioner and effectively coordinate and deliver an expert nursing service within Multiple Sclerosis.
2. Manage patients/client caseloads.
3. Ensure that patients and their families are fully informed and supported by providing clinical and social support.
4. Work collaboratively with colleagues to provide a cohesive service for all patients.
5. Provide education to both patients and caregivers.
6. Collaborate with neurologist consultants and MS nurses in the wider team for the delivery of all available treatment options.
NHFT is an integrated primary care and mental health Trust, providing physical, mental health, and specialty services in both hospital settings and out in the community. Because we put the person at the centre of all we do, we focus on delivering care that is as easy to access as possible. This means many of our services can be provided at home, work, or in schools. We also provide health services to various prisons and detention centres in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
NHFT promotes a culture of learning to improve the care and safety of our patients and staff, which focuses on people who enable our Trust to be ‘outstanding’ by supporting opportunity, innovation, development, and growth.
