Staff Nurse - Cardiology

We have an exciting opportunity to join the Cardiology team on Wards 3 South, 3 North East and Coronary Care Unit.

Our focus is our patients, their needs, ensuring their comfort and providing quality care. This is at the forefront of our thinking and we are constantly working to develop the service we offer to the people we care for. We have 53 beds commissioned including 6 Coronary Care Beds, with expectations of further expansion in the coming months. Cardiology is fast paced and is on the cutting edge of technology, providing excellent cardiology experience for staff caring for patients undergoing cardiology procedures, such as angiograms, angioplasty, ablations, cardiac devices and various cardiac valve related procedures.

Our ward is fast paced with a high turnover, using new pathways and initiatives to maintain patient flow and positive patient experience. With this, there is a wide variety of learning opportunities including caring for patients requiring intra-aortic balloon pumps, temporary pacing systems and many more. The educational opportunities are endless., The nursing dependency of the patients is diverse with direct transfers from the regional general hospitals and emergency pathways running through our department and as such is dependent on the clinical skills of trained and motivated nurses. We have a superb and supportive team of dedicated nurses and support staff. Our staff are focused on providing the highest standards of patient care, upholding our Trust values of Compassion, Excellence and Collaboration. We are keen to recruit staff to join our team who will share our vision, enthusiasm and pride in the care we deliver.
