Summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen at Theatres in King George Hospital for highly motivated and driven Registered Nurses/ Operating Department Practitioners with Scrub, Anaesthetic or Recovery experience. We are one of the 8 Trust in the entire NHS to be known as established Surgical Elective Hub. We offer the best training and development programme for our staff.

We are proud to offer pioneering cutting-edge technology having the robotic General, colorectal, upper GI, Urology, Gynaecology surgeries and Orthopedic robot for joint replacement surgeries in our department with 7 Operating Theatres.

As a senior theatre practitioner, with experience in multiple specialties, you will assist in integrated clinical leadership to care for patients in the Operating Theatre environment to the highest possible standard and to develop practice with support from the Team Leader.

You will be a valuable member of our supportive theatre team. We encourage learning and have an experienced Education Team who are committed to support your ongoing professional and educational developments.

Liaise with the Team Leader and Theatre Co-ordinator to ensure that patients are prepared for Theatre in reasonable time and are received in to the Theatre department adhering to the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist.

Assist in the safe handling, transfer and positioning of patients in all areas of the department; including complex cases and preparing and transporting portable monitoring equipment to assist with the transfer of patients to Intensive Care Unit/High Dependency Unit following anaesthetic interventions.

Provide skilled assistance when participating in scrub/recovery and circulating duties in the operating department.

Liaise and communicate with other departments eg. Haematology, Pathology, Microbiology, Blood Transfusion, Infection Control, Estates, Pharmacy, Radiology, Health & Safety, Sterile Services Unit etc.

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.

We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.

We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.

We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
