Job description

East Locality District Nursing Team - Bromyard base

The East District Nursing team supports patients registered within the East Primary Care Network. We have formed excellent working relationships with our GP colleagues and the wider multi-disciplinary areas.

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiast colleague to join our dedicated and supportive team based in Ledbury covering 34 hours per week

Main duties of the job

Most of our work is with housebound patients but, we also run a District Nurse Clinic for non-housebound patients who need the very specific skills of a District Nurse to support their treatment.

The focus of District Nursing is to support patients towards self-management, enabling them to continue to live as full and productive a life as possible, through education, equipment and or lifestyle changes. We also have the privilege of supporting people and their families at the end of their lives, working in close liaison with the Hospice Teams and Specialist Palliative Care Nurses.

As community teams we enjoy working with many other health and social care professionals, Care Homes and Care Agencies. All staff are expected to record their work electronically on EMIS, our electronic patient record system which links into the GP services to allow a seamless service provision. Training and on-going support will be given to support staff with EMIS and other electronic systems they will need to use.
