Job description
We encourage early application as we reserve the right to close this post once sufficient candidates have applied. Hereford City District Nursing Team...
Most of our work is with housebound patients but, we also run a District Nurse Clinic for non-housebound patients who need the very specific skills of a District Nurse to support their treatment.
The focus of District Nursing is to support patients towards self-management, enabling them to continue to live as full and productive a life as possible, through education, equipment and or lifestyle changes. We also have the privilege of supporting people and their families at the end of their lives, working in close liaison with the Hospice Teams and Specialist Palliative Care Nurses.
As community teams we enjoy working with many other health and social care professionals, Care Homes and Care Agencies. All staff are expected to record their work electronically on EMIS, our electronic patient record system which links into the GP services to allow a seamless service provision. Training and on-going support will be given to support staff with EMIS and other electronic systems they will need to use.

Wye Valley NHS Trust is a member of an NHS Foundation Group with South Warwickshire NHS FT , the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
Located on the border with Wales in the shadow of the Black Mountains, we provide acute and community services across Herefordshire and into parts of Powys and run Hereford County Hospital and the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.
We are a progressive and forward looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we'd want for our family and friends.
More than 3,500 people work for the Trust - they tell us it's a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.
We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.
Russell Hardy, Trust Chairman: "The strength of the Trust is its amazing staff; a great place to work, a great place to develop your career and a great place to reach your potential."
