Summary
A Vacancy at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
An opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated individual to apply for the role of Band 7 Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) / Emergency Care Practitioner (ECP) within the Injuries Department of the Emergency Department.
This is a predominantly clinical, department-based role, responsible for delivering high-quality patient care within the adult minor injuries service. The post holder may also be required to support the paediatric area in line with departmental need.
The post holder will provide first-contact care for patients presenting with urgent and emergency care needs, working autonomously within their scope of practice.
We are seeking enthusiastic, confident, and self-motivated practitioners (nurses or allied health professionals) with excellent communication skills who thrive in a fast-paced acute environment. A strong commitment to delivering high standards of patient care is essential.
Act as a first point of contact for patients presenting with undifferentiated and undiagnosed conditions
Assess, diagnose, treat, and manage patients autonomously within scope of practice
Undertake comprehensive history taking and physical examination
Order, interpret, and act upon investigations (e.g. X-rays, blood tests)
Consult and manage patients within required clinical time frames and standards
Discharge or refer patients appropriately to speciaiIty teams or community services
Provide health promotion and injury prevention advice to patients and carers
Maintain accurate, contemporaneous clinical records
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
