Job description

We are looking to appoint a highly motivated, enthusiastic Nurse with superb communication skills to our acute oncology team.

We are a small, friendly team of Nurse Specialists, Doctors and a Physicians Associate working cross site at Basingstoke and Winchester Hospital.

We provide an urgent telephone advisory service and clinical assessments to both in-patients and out-patients, who develop complications related to their cancer treatment or directly related to their cancer.

We operate from our dedicated same day emergency care clinical spaces at both Winchester and Basingstoke.

The primary objective of our Acute Oncology Service at HHFT is to provide a framework and deliver a coordinated approach to managing the acute admissions of patients with cancer. We do this by establishing and implementing protocols and procedures that ensure Oncology and Haematology patients receive the very best possible standard of care, from the most appropriate person or team, in the best possible place and in an appropriate timely manner.

As a team, we are focused on providing the best possible patient care with the resources available to us, whilst striving to identify and achieve incremental improvements whenever possible. We are a small team of passionate and knowledgeable healthcare professionals. It is an absolute privilege to work in a uniquely rewarding job. As a team, we never lose sight of the honour we are afforded by caring for people with cancer.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated nurse who is willing to continue to develop and expand their practice within an exciting and constantly developing specialty.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement, and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
