Clinical Nurse Specialist Rheumatology

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has an exciting opportunity to expand its clinical nurse specialist team. The Clinical Nurse Specialist role as 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.

The delivery of an outpatient service by the team or area for which you have responsibility. This includes:

• 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.
  
  

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of

approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
