A challenging and rewarding opportunity has arisen within the Gloucestershire Community Heart Failure team
You will work as part of our countywide team, liaising with cardiology and medical teams within the Acute and Community Hospitals and working closely with GPs. We are looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic nurse with a minimum 2 years recent cardiac experience and ability to demonstrate a knowledge of heart failure management, to complement our dynamic team. Knowledge of Primary Care working is desirable. You will need to be able to work independently and have excellent communication skills.
You will be supported in this role by the Clinical Nurse Specialists and GPs with a Specialist Interest in Heart Failure. Regular case review and peer reviews are provided to support your practice and development in the role.
You will be required to manage a varied community based caseload of patients with heart failure, using evidence based management strategies to seek the best outcomes to improve morbidity, mortality and quality of life and to provide palliative support to the deteriorating patient.
The role incorporates clinical assessment, titration of medications, education and support and rehabilitation to patients and carers. In line with GHC practice the service uses electronic patient records and Information Technology skills are essential. Your role will involve seeing patients in Community hospitals, at home and in clinic.
We have a skilled and dedicated workforce of over 5000 colleagues working in a diverse range of services over 55 sites and within people’s homes. We strive to enable a welcoming workplace culture that builds and celebrates civility, inclusivity and diversity, while providing a sense of belonging and trust.
Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us. In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views. It was great to hear that:
72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.
76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.
81% said that care of patients and service users is the Trust’s priority, compared with an average in comparable NHS Trusts in England of 64%.
This high-level overview shows we are in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations, alongside a great response rate, indicating good staff engagement. However, we also know we have plenty of room for improvement in many areas. To that end, we continue to prioritise and invest in our commitment to genuinely becoming a Great Place to Work with consistent top-quartile performance in the annual staff survey and Pulse surveys.
The Heart Failure Service manages patients with all grades of heart failure and the role requires an experienced qualified nurse to deliver effective management of this group of patients.
