We work in hospitals, community clinics and patients’ homes to deliver outstanding care.
Community hospitals are completely nurse-led with a focus on rehabilitation and therapy for people who need extra help to get home, or who are nearing the end of their life.
Patients are accepted from a range of specialisms, for example; surgical, orthopaedics, physiotherapy and post-amputation. We also accept patients directly from urgent care (accident and emergency or A&E) who need therapy to help them to get better.
You’ll need to be confident in making independent clinical decisions on behalf of the patients in your care.
We also have day beds where patients can be referred for rehabilitation, along with minor injury units, outpatient clinics such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy and x-ray facilities in some areas.
Sometimes called District Nurses, Community Nurses look after patients in their own homes, including care homes.
We deliver personalised care to people with complex and long-term conditions so that patients can stay safe and well at home or in their chosen environment. The service may provide wound management, change wound dressings, palliative and end-of-life care and symptom control and catheter care. They also take blood and administer injectable medication.
These nurses support our Specialist Public Health Nurses to provide services including:
- Health visiting
- School nursing
As a community public health nurse you can join us as a band 5 nurse and undertake training which could see you qualify as a band 6 Specialist Community Public Health Nurse (health visitor or school nurse) in around eighteen months.
Health visitors see new parents with children from newborn to four years old, when they will start school. They provide vital advice and guidance on feeding, sleeping, immunisations, caring for your baby and many more aspects of parenting newborns up to school age children. (film)
School nurses work with school-aged children and their families to make sure every child has a healthy start in life.
Imms nurses support the school-age immunisations service to deliver vital vaccinations to children aged four to 19 in school and in community clinics. We deliver immunisations against flu, COVID-19, human papilloma virus, diphtheria, tetanus, meningitis and other childhood diseases.
Our sexual health nurses offer confidential advice, screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections including HIV. We also offer advice on contraception including long acting reversible contraception, young people’s services and sexual health promotion at our integrated sexual health clinics.
These services aim to avoid people having to go to hospital by supporting them at home. The nurses provide unscheduled nursing care out of hours, including crisis management for patients at the end of their life. The teams are supported by a matron and health care assistants.
Rapid Response is a nurse-led service available 24 hours a day, every day of the year including weekends and bank holidays. We use a telephone triage to prioritise visits with two-hour, four-hour or 24-hour response to referrals.
The integrated care team works with health and social care providers to co-ordinate and offer appropriate quality care to vulnerable or frail adults in the community.
Minor injury units and Urgent treatment centres offer a walk-in service for patients who need help urgently for minor illnesses or injuries with non-life threatening issues. This is a nurse/paramedic-led service. You will be treating patients for minor cuts, bites and stings, infected wounds, ears and noses, minor burns and injuries, fractures to arms and lower legs, bumps, slips, trips and falls.
The teams include nurses, paramedics, HCAs, physiotherapists, nurse associates and plaster technicians. The UTC teams include GPs as well.
