Endoscopy Staff Nurse

Overview

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non‑clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

After your training you will become a skilled member of the Endoscopy team, providing the highest standard of specialist patient care without direct supervision. Endoscopy nurses assess, plan, implement and evaluate care and follow standards/protocols to give a quality service to patients. You will use your specialist clinical skills to carry out endoscopy care safely and effectively. As you develop your skills you will be expected to delegate appropriately to junior/support staff, showing a full understanding of staff abilities before delegating duties from the patient care plan.

Shift pattern – Monday‑Friday (4 of
5).

It is essential that you are currently a Registered Adult Nurse with the NMC and that you hold a live NMC PIN. Having endoscopy experience would be advantageous. As holding current full professional registration is an essential requirement for the post, candidates who do not complete the professional registration section of the application form or who do not hold a live NMC PIN will not be considered for short listing.

The unit is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., providing a service to both out‑patients and in‑patients. The Glasgow Royal Infirmary Endoscopy unit comprises three procedure rooms that service a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

• GI endoscopy
• Colonoscopy
• Bronchoscopy
• ERCP
• EUS for adults

To meet the service demands you may be required to work at other endoscopy units within the GGC area.
