 An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced paediatric nurse to join the urology nursing team. Urology is a very busy team, providing care for local and regional patients.

This is a varied post working alongside a large multidisciplinary team within the trust including medical staff, nursing staff, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. The post holder will be expected to care for a variety of patients in both an inpatient and outpatient setting, who require urological input such as, dressing removals, catheterisation training and catheter care, as well as the supervision and competency training of staff within the trust. The post holder will also be expected to provide specialist training for schools and families on urological cares such as, catheterisation and the care of supra pubic catheters/ureterostomies. 

The role requires you to carry out nurse led continence clinics. You need to have a good understanding evidence-based care of urological conditions and procedures and the ability to plan and implement complex care packages for some patients such as, spinal cord injuries. The role will also require the post holder to perform diagnostic testing such as, non-invasive bladder scanning.

The successful applicant should be keen to expand their knowledge and enjoy a challenge; however comprehensive training will be given in all aspects of urology care, alongside the established urology and continence team.
