Job overview
The Pre-admission Management Service (PreAMS) is the major portal for surgical admissions at UHNM and is essential to service optimisation within the surgical directorate. This is achieved by supporting the successful delivery of the 18 week RTT and 2WW cancer targets; contributing to reduction in clinical risk by reducing post-operative morbidity and mortality through a comprehensive pre-operative assessment program which includes early identification of health needs to ensure that patients are appropriately listed for surgery; contributing to improved operating theatre utilisation through a reduction in cancellations (non-reportable and reportable); supporting reduced length of stay and improved bed utilisation.

We are looking for an experienced registered nurse or theatre practitioner with specialist assessment skills and a high level of clinical practice to join us as part of our nurse led team.
