About the role
This senior nursing leadership role will be responsible for shaping the strategic, professional and operational leadership of Urgent and Emergency Care services (ED, SDEC & UTC) and for contributing to the wider professional nursing leadership, quality governance and workforce agenda across the Medicine Division and Trust.
Collaborative working with the Clinical Director, General Manager, Divisional Chief Nurse, operational teams and system partners, you'll be a key to the development of integrated urgent and emergency care pathways, ensuring patients receive timely assessment, treatment and onward care within clinically appropriate timescales.
Success will require role modelling of visible, compassionate and effective leadership; supporting and coaching colleagues to do the same.
Expert knowledge and extensive prior experience of emergency care quality indicators, operational performance metrics, workforce productivity, patient safety measures and national urgent and emergency care standards, will be key to leading and being accountable for continuous improvement initiatives that contribute to safe and sustainable delivery of the NHS Constitutional Standards.
Beyond UEC Nursing leadership, you will deputise for the Divisional Chief Nurse for Medicine and will provide senior nursing leadership across the Division as required, alongside Head of Nursing (Medicine) colleagues.
This role holds significant autonomy and discretion within agreed Divisional and organisational objectives, taking decisions on highly complex professional, workforce, quality and operational matters where precedent may not exist.
The postholder will participate in the senior manager on-call rota.
