Registered Nurse - EAUS

EAUS is a varied, fast-paced, dynamic Emergency Assessment Unit for Surgery. We have a high turnover of patients as we take our own direct emergency admissions from GPs, clinics and A&E. We assess and admit patients from nine surgical specialities including general surgery, urology, ENT, orthopaedic trauma and plastics. We are committed to providing the highest standard of care for our patients. EAUS is divided into two parts a Surgical Ambulatory Emergency Care (SAEC) and a main 34 bed inpatient area (Easton ward.) The unit is continually evolving and as a team we are always looking for new initiatives to improve and enhance our patient's experience. We are a friendly, cohesive team and pride ourselves on our excellent assessment skills, allowing us to initiate specialised individual treatment plans and providing initial front line emergency care. We are passionate about encouraging our staff to develop their clinical skills and knowledge and believe we provide an environment which facilitates professional development.
