You will manage the team of nurses working across the 2 boroughs, helping to develop the service, building strong connections in the neighbouring boroughs within the project, and working together as a team in offering clinical support to people with haemoglobinopathy conditions at different stages of their lives, from antenatal screening, newborn screening, childhood, through to adults living with a long-term chronic condition. You will have a clinical caseload alongside your management responsibilities, to ensure you have opportunity to continue to develop your own clinical skills.
Your office base will at the Brent Sickle Cell & Thalassaemia Centre, Central Middlesex Hospital. Patients will be supported by the team at Imperial NHS Trust sites of Hammersmith and St. Marys Hospitals, and the team will provide nursing support in patient homes and venues local to their homes across the 2 boroughs.
