As a trainee practitioner, ultimately working towards practicing at an enhanced level, you will work with the trauma on-call team and associated multi-disciplinary personnel across Northwest Anglia NHS Foundation Trust to provide a quality, integrated service for our trauma patients.
You will work under the guidance of the consultants and senior practitioners within T&O to develop your practice and support the on-call and ward teams with the daily trauma round and subsequent actions. You will coordinate the pathway for trauma patients coming through the Emergency Department, fracture clinic and minor injury units and manage the trauma office and associated correspondence. The workload can be busy and unpredictable: you will need to be organised and resourceful in order to adjust and adapt to conflicting demands and pressures.
You will use your skills and knowledge to assist in decision making and clinical reasoning as you conduct assessments either face to face or by telephone to ensure trauma patients are clinically optimised and appropriately scheduled for theatre. This includes booking and follow up of diagnostics, timely liaison with theatre teams regarding equipment requirements and utilisation of operating capacity and communication with wards and admitting areas.
As the main point of contact for trauma you will have an overview of the orthopaedic trauma patients across the Trust and those pending intra hospital transfer or repatriation. You will be able to support to the trauma in-patient areas, ED, and site teams to maintain capacity and flow throughout the Trust and as part to the T&O practitioner team may be asked to assist the division in times of duress or crisis.
Strong communication skills and attention to detail are essential to the role as the post holder communicates closely with patients and relatives, as well as personnel and departments across the Trust, the community, and other trusts.
