Staff Nurse - Emergency Department

Overview

The future of Emergency Care in Dorset remains exciting, with a major new Emergency site being created in Bournemouth for 2025, which will become one of the biggest Emergency Departments on the South Coast. The Royal Bournemouth Hospital will be at the forefront of this development with our staff being the cornerstone of the new nursing team in the future.

Combined, the Poole and Royal Bournemouth Emergency Departments see over 400 patients per day, each encompassing all major specialties. Poole was ranked in the top six of all Emergency Departments nationally for the standard of care that we deliver. Both sites also run an urgent treatment centre in collaboration with the local primary care service and manage minor injuries from across the conurbation.

Diploma in Adult Nursing or Children’s Nursing / Degree in Nursing or related subject and an active UK NMC registration.
