The post holder will work with the Lead Consultant for Endometriosis and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality specialist care, advice, and support for women experiencing pelvic pain and endometriosis.

Acting as an expert practitioner, the post holder will manage their own clinics, provide specialist advice and education, and support patients throughout their care journey.
The specialist nurse will work collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team (MDT), ensuring effective communication between service users and providers, and contribute to the development of guidelines, patient information, and service standards. The role requires strong leadership, flexibility, and commitment to high-quality, sustainable care, while serving as a role model for nursing practice within the organisation.
