Endoscopy Staff Nurse

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC)

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.

An opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic Registered Nurse. 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 for patients in a safe and effective manner.

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, and develop programmes of care by assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating specialist patient care to be carried out by themselves and other members of staff.
