 Epilepsy Advanced Nurse Practitioner 

Department: Neurology - Medicine

Band  7  

Hours: 37.5 per week, all MKUH roles will be considered for flexible working

Due to service expansion we are seeking an experienced, motivated and energetic individual to join our neurology service as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner for Epilepsy. To be part of the team leading MKUH towards a higher level of clinical excellence and continually be part of improving service delivery for our patients. 

This rapidly expanding modern and busy service has led to investment into the service to ensure effective and timely patient care. This developing service is supported by the forward-thinking medicine division.

We are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse with demonstrable clinical experience and qualifications within the field of epilepsy and who is able to function well in a team as well as under their own initiative and who can respond to changing service priorities with this patient group.

We are looking for an individual who is autonomous and will run outpatient clinics with the support of the consultant team, alongside ward referrals.  You will also be an active member of the Neurology team supporting patients and their families through their treatment and beyond.

You will deliver and support high standards of clinical care both as a direct care giver and indirectly through the support and education of the wider workforce.
