This is a great opportunity to join The Princess Grace Hospital as a Staff Nurse in the Complex Medical Unit. Our Acute Medicine pathway provides a 24/7 service, providing care in our Acute Admission Unit, Acute Care Unit, or via our Urgent Care Centre, ensuring patients receive the best possible treatment whenever they need it.

As an Acute Medical Nurse, you’ll be part of a team delivering high quality care to our acutely unwell patients, with a range of complex care needs. You will have the opportunity to work with our dedicated team of medical consultants from a wide range of medical specialties.

Ensure that the ward whiteboard is updated at the start of each shift. Maintain awareness of consultant protocols and demonstrate early recognition of deteriorating patients. Follow strict processes for documentation, recording, and monitoring patient observations, escalating concerns promptly using the SBAR handover framework.

Attendance at RED training is required to support safe and effective practice.
