Are you a highly motivated and dynamic individual that drives for continuous service improvement? if so, an exciting opportunity has arisen on Ward 22 & 23 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

We’re excited to be launching a new and ambitious clinical model for our Acute Medicine and Frailty services going live in November 2025. Built on national best practice and the principles of Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT), the model is designed to deliver the right care, in the right place, at the right time - and to offer nursing staff a dynamic and supportive working environment with a clear focus on quality, development and teamworking. This transformation reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, timely, and compassionate care to patients with acute and complex medical needs. In the new model, Wards 22 & 23 will consist of the following four units: Acute Assessment Unit (AAU), Acute Medical Unit (AMU), Frailty Same Day Emergency Unit, Acute Frailty Unit (AFU)
