Description:

Do you want to work in a supportive team who place patients at the heart of everything we do?
Are you committed to improving patient care through knowledge, skills, compassion and empathy?
We are looking for an experienced nurse to join our team in managing the two week wait pathway for patients referred for investigation into suspected gastrointestinal cancer. We are looking for an excellent team player with the ability to use their own initiative and judgement to resolve issues. We are a forward thinking service made up of a multidisciplinary team and are committed to delivering the best possible care to our patients. We encourage the development of our staff and expect them to keep up to date and promote evidence based practice.
The role of the 2ww Specialist Nurse is to review and triage referrals using locally agreed proformas and to facilitate the booking of investigations in a timely manner. Communication with patients takes place over the phone, gaining further information to ensure safe triage, giving medication and pre assessment advice and offering information to facilitate investigations. Following up results from investigations involves discharging or liaising with the patient, GP and other members of the multidisciplinary team with outcomes if further investigations are required.
The post holder will require excellent communication and interpersonal skills, an ability to maintain accuracy and attention to detail even when working under pressure and be able to work independently. IT literacy is also critical. This is a fast paced service, which will test your organisational and prioritising skills.
In return you will work as part of a highly skilled team where you can gain a wealth of experience. You will learn about the Two Week Wait pathway, early cancer care diagnosis, become involved in multi disciplinary communication, and develop further knowledge in gastroenterology, hepatobiliary and colorectal conditions.
Continuing service improvement is always at the forefront of our work. Problem solving and sharing of new ideas is hugely encouraged, with staff encouraged to be proactive.
