The CCU team prides itself on providing excellent, well-rounded care in acute, interventional and diagnostic cardiology with nurses rotating in Coronary Care Unit (CCU), Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory and Cardiac Diagnostics.
This is a unique opportunity for learning and training in all these specialised areas of Cardiology since most of the other Trusts have dedicated staff for each area.
CCU has 6 monitored beds catering to high dependency patients who have acute cardiac conditions such as heart attack, abnormal heart rhythms, valve issues and heart failure.
Nurses here are trained to develop a strong eye for clinical deterioration, identify ECG abnormalities and perform special procedures such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) and ultrafiltration.
Despite having a quick patient turnover, nurses are able to deliver patient-centred care in a diverse range of cardiac illnesses.
Responsibilities: Assist in leading the nursing team in the provision of high quality, research based, nursing care that is patient and family focused.
Act as a leader, advisor and role model to less experienced nurses, ensuring appropriate care is planned, implemented and evaluated.
