Registered Nurse - Acute Frailty Unit

We are passionate about the acute care of older adults. Our Acute Frailty Unit is a 32 bedded assessment unit for acutely unwell older adults admitted to the Trust. We see a wide range of acute medical presentations. Patients are admitted for 24-48 hours assessment period before transfer to wards or discharge. Our multidisciplinary team consists of Acute Geriatricians, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Therapists, Pharmacists, Junior Doctors and Physiotherapists, who work collaboratively to treat a complex mix of acutely unwell frail medical patients. Our nurses have the opportunity tap into the expertise of band 6/7 specialist nurses and doctors as they handle patient assessment, investigation, diagnosis and the management of patients with an acute medical illness during the first 48 hours of their hospital stay. Our nurses can move through our bespoke rotation packages across specialties, because we’re passionate about offering internal and external training for career progression and our nurses have access to an award winning in-house Practice Development Nurses. We currently have opportunities available for: Experienced Registered Nurses with current NMC Registration Newly Qualified and Newly Qualifying Nurses If you are a nurse with lapsed NMC registration, looking to return,we may be able to host your placement whilst you complete the Return to Practice course at the University of the West of England.To find out more, please email returntopractice@nbt.nhs.uk
