Job description

Band 5 Staff Nurse – East Wing 10 High Dependency Unit

Our Unit is looking for you!

East Wing 10 is a state-of-the-art, new and improved 15-bedded unit, and we are seeking enthusiastic and energised nurses to join our friendly, welcoming team. This new venture aims to deliver high-quality level 2 patient care. EW10 HDU is an integral part of the large and dynamic Critical Care department at Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT), caring for both surgical and medical patients. These patients are either stepped down from Intensive Care or require a step up in care from the ward or Emergency Department. They often need support for one or more organs, such as non-invasive ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and advanced cardiovascular support, all requiring close monitoring.

The upgraded facilities and enhanced infection control measures will improve our ability to cater to the complex needs of critically ill patients. Guy’s and St Thomas’ are committed to investing in hospital environments to enhance care and patient experience. This is part of several capital projects aimed at improving facilities.
