Overview

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has an exciting opportunity to expand its clinical nurse specialist team. The Clinical Nurse Specialist role is a keystone to the optimal care of our patients and to the success of our Trust, working in conjunction with the MDT. The delivery of high quality, effective and compassionate care is the most important objective for the organisation. Rheumatology operates across all Trust sites, including outpatients in Basingstoke, Winchester, Alton and Andover.

Responsibilities

• Being an expert professional adviser.
• Delivering education to the multi-disciplinary team.
• Assessment and treatment of own caseload of patients.
• Leading on the assessment of highly complex patients, where factors may be conflicting, requiring high level analysis and interpretation skills and the comparison of a range of options to achieve effective treatment.
• Developing the above skill set with the staff who report to you or whom you have a responsibility to train.

Disability Confident

A Disability Confident employer will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria for the job as defined by the employer. It is important to note that in certain recruitment situations such as high-volume, seasonal and high-peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.
