Are you passionate about patient care and dedicated to making a difference? We're looking for Registered Nurses to join our dynamic team at King's Mill Hospital.

We are seeking first level registered nurses to work in our Discharge Lound. You'll need to demonstrate excellent communication and organisational skills and an understanding of individualised patient care.

Patients are transferred to the Discharge Lounge from the Emergency Department, Admission Units, Inpatient Medical/Surgical Wards, Day Case, and Clinic areas. Our primary goal is to free up bed capacity as soon as possible within the trust to facilitate patient flow from the front door while still maintaining a safe and compassionate environment for patients who are still waiting to leave the Trust.

The Discharge Lounge at Sherwood Forest Hospital provides a warm and caring environment in which medically fit patients can safely await discharge home or transfer to an alternative setting.

Apply now to join our team at King's Mill Hospital!
