Staff Nurse - Acute Medical Unit
The Acute Medical Unit provides emergency medical care for patients who are requiring admission under the expert care of our admitting emergency medical physicians within our trust. Medical Admissions is a 53 bedded unit that cares for a range of acutely ill patients requiring medical investigations and treatment in a fast-paced environment, with a turnover of 30-40 patients a day. We have a commitment to ensuring that every patients experience on admission is of the highest quality. We require nurses who are energetic, forward thinking, flexible, self-motivated and who have care, compassion and courage at the core of their nursing vision.
