We have an exciting opportunity for a Trainee/Emergency Nurse Practitioner or an experienced senior emergency department nurse wanting to advance their career. The ENP service is based over two hospital sites.
Minor Injuries services are based in the Minor Injuries Unit at Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline and A&E at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy; both these services operate a 24/7 walk-in service.
Our ideal candidate will be an experienced Emergency Nurse Practitioner with:
Non-medical prescribing and Minor injuries training – including x-ray interpretation, suturing, plastering, management of complex wounds and injury skills;
A minimum of one-year consolidated practice as an Emergency Practitioner would be desirable;
Competence in autonomous assessment, examination, diagnosis and treatment.
We need experts who can help us in sustaining optimal performance and quality care.
If you have a real passion for Emergency Nursing, we want to hear from you.
