Trosolwg o'r swydd
The Acute Medical Unit at Royal Lancaster Infirmary prides itself on the level of care it provides to its patients.
This post-holder has the opportunity to contribute to the further development of an established, but developing service. The post will suit candidates who are passionate about General Internal and Acute Medicine and are motivated to manage patients efficiently. In this role, you will be able to arrive at a diagnosis quickly and make safe and effective discharge decisions, utilising the safety net of review via the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) unit.

There is an emphasis on the ability of the team to excel as care providers and clinical decision makers, with patient safety at the forefront of everything. This applies across all levels of staff on the unit and is demonstrated by an active programme to develop Advanced Nurse Practitioners who remain as part of the permanent staff and embed the culture of the team.
