A Vacancy at Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust.
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) Endoscopy Units are expanding our service and are looking for enthusiastic, motivated, innovative individuals with a keen interest in developing their career in Endoscopy. Due to an increase in demand
for Endoscopy services, we are investing to grow our team to increase our ability to meet demands. This is an exciting time to be part of an innovative and forward-thinking service.
You will join a highly specialised team of professionals who deliver a high standard of patient centred care. We have a supportive culture for all staff and by joining us now, you
can play a role in shaping our organisation that continues to put patient care first. Endoscopy is an ongoing developing speciality and so ongoing training and education is offered to all staff.
We are looking for individuals who value Passion, Responsibility, Innovation, Drive and Empowerment who will bring a continuous focus to high performance and quality of care, working collaboratively with colleagues and the wider team.
BHRUT is one of the largest acute trusts in the UK serving a population of 750,000 from a wide range of social and ethnic groups. The trust provides specialist trauma, oncology, neurosciences, hyper acute, stroke and critical care services. The Trust is recognised as a regional London Upper GI Cancer resection centre by NHS England and has also become a standalone screening centre for Bowel Cancer.
We are extremely proud that we recently secured a place on the ground breaking scheme to transform the care we provide for patients- the Virginia Mason Institute Development Programme. We are only one of five trusts in the UK to take part.
• To be responsible for individualized care of patients through the endoscopy process: admission, procedure, recovery, and discharge
• To provide and maintain a high standard of nursing care
• To assist with education and supervision of students
• To take an active role in the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care of all patients undergoing endoscopic procedure within the Clinical Diagnostic Unit
• To participate in all unit activities as an effective team member, supporting the Senior Sister by taking the responsibility for the leadership of a team of staff
• To assess care needs, and the development, implementation, and evaluation of programmes of care, in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team
• To teach and supervise qualified and unqualified staff, and to act as a role model to junior staff, undertaking performance management as required
• To take responsibility and accountability for a group of patients and the whole unit for the duration of the shift
Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.
As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.
We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
