Job summary

An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Band 5 RN within the Urology Day Case Unit at The Royal Derby Hospital.

The unit consists of a 15-bed ward, which works alongside our outpatient flexi cystoscopy clinic and two operating theatres. We care for patients undergoing outpatient procedures, day case, in patient and robotic surgery.

We are a small and friendly department. The team comprises of consultants, staff grade and junior doctors, advanced clinical practitioners, ODP's, nurses, HCA's and reception/ admin staff.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate would work as part of the Urology Day Case Team to assist in the smooth daily running of the department, including patient admission, pre and post operative care and nurse led discharge when appropriate. We also offer an Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy service. The position also involves rotation into our flexible cystoscopy clinic which would include overseeing the running of the clinic and assisting clinicians whilst undertaking diagnostic endoscopic procedures. Appropriate in-house training will be provided.

We accommodate many types of trainees and are keen to ensure all students are well mentored and supported. Ensuring a stimulating and rich learning environment is essential in this role.

We work closely with The Elective Hub and collaborate with them in the discharge of patients in the afternoon and evening. Flexibility and adaptability are essential to this role. We provide weekday care from 0730 until patient discharge / transfer and a wide variety of shift patterns are required to cover this service. This can at times be until after 10pm at night.

If you have the drive and determination required to work in a busy and evolving department, we would love to hear from you.
