Job OverviewAn opportunity has arisen for you to join our Emergency Gynaecology Unit team at St Mary's Hospital MCS within Manchester NHS Foundation Trust. This is a permanent position at 37.5 hours per week. EGU is a 24-hour, 7-day service and this role includes days, twilights, nights, and weekend work.
The Emergency Gynaecology Unit (EGU) provides a Specialist Nurse led emergency service to patients with gynaecological problems or concerns in early pregnancy (up to 16 weeks gestation). We work alongside a Consultant lead for EGU and medical team to support the patients coming through our service.
Gynaecology experience is desired, with 6-12 months post-registration experience essential.
Main Duties of the JobYou will gain experience in an acute emergency gynaecology setting, which is a fast-paced environment with a high footfall through the unit. You will work within an experienced MDT team and will be supported with a supernumerary period. Completion of the Emergency Gynaecology Course is beneficial but not essential as the successful candidate will be enrolled on the Emergency Gynaecology Course, providing you with the skills to see, treat, and discharge all pregnancy-related patients.
Please note that a significant part of the role as a Staff Nurse in EGU is to provide high-quality bereavement care for patients and their families who are going through early pregnancy loss.
The successful candidate will play an essential role in assessing and triaging the patient and delivering timely care, ensuring clear communication with the MDT.
To join us, you will have excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will be able to support and contribute to a team approach, have the ability to problem-solve, analyze, and resolve issues. In addition to this, you must be motivated to develop personally and professionally and have exemplary personal standards of conduct.
