Senior Staff Nurse

at  Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

MAIN DUTIES OF THE JOB

The CATU model is an innovative and dynamic patient pathway of which a key aspect is the assessment of the acute patient and treatment of symptoms aiming to return the patient to their home with the right support. You will be empowered to utilise a range of nursing skills to support patients through a clinical admission, assessment, and ongoing treatment.
The SDEC model is new for community hospitals. This model enables admission avoidance but provides patients with the essential assessments and treatment to enable them to return home the same day.
There will be opportunities to lead patient care, taking on differing nursing roles on the unit such as the day case referrals and ensuring that patient care is kept to a high standard. There will be a high amount of liaising with other services so communication skills are vital.
