An exciting opportunity has arisen at MSE for a Clinical Nurse Specialist within the Vascular Service. You will be required to work across the different hospital sites of Mid and South Essex Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, specifically at both Basildon and Southend Sites.
The Vascular Service is looking for a highly motivated, dynamic, enthusiastic, and experienced nurse to work in conjunction with the Vascular multi-disciplinary team focused on providing high-quality care. The post would suit somebody with excellent communication skills, a good understanding of change management, and a flexible approach to working.
You will be required to work autonomously as well as part of the team, providing specialist nursing care, education, and support for individuals with Vascular Conditions as both inpatients and outpatients. You will work alongside nursing, vascular surgical, and allied health professionals within the clinical division.
You will liaise with the multi-disciplinary teams (MDT), GP, and community teams to promote a holistic and personalized approach to care that is well-coordinated and integrated.
Main duties of the job
The key to providing a high-quality service is the credible nursing presence that can provide inspiration, leadership, and proactive management. The Vascular Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) will therefore be highly visible and accessible, with a demonstrable commitment to improving the quality of patient care across MSEFT.
You will need to be an experienced nurse who will support the Lead Vascular CNS to deliver the MSEFT Vascular service, autonomously assess both Vascular inpatients and outpatients, including initial history taking, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of care while demonstrating safe, senior clinical decision-making and expert care for patients, providing appropriate clinical management plans and advising on any medication required in collaboration with the medical teams.
You will demonstrate critical thinking in the clinical decision-making process, working collaboratively with the Lead Vascular CNS and Vascular Team to meet the needs of the patients and play a key role in service delivery and adherence to policy and procedures.
