This is a fantastic opportunity for a Registered General Nurse looking to further develop their knowledge and experience in wound management and leg ulcer management with skills including ABPIs.  This is to support the existing Team Leaders and the Tissue Viability Lead.

The Wound Care & Lymphoedema Service delivers care to patients registered with a Bury GP who require wound management following surgery, trauma or for skin care advice.  The Service provides evidence based comprehensive assessment, management, treatment and prevention strategies for patients with wounds, leg ulcers and lymphoedema.  The Service promotes a self-management pathway with patients and the post holder will be involved in facilitating staff to empower patients and carers to self-manage.

The Service is comprised of a team of 14 and includes the Tissue Viability Nurse, Community Nurse Team Leaders, Community Staff Nurses and Health Care Support Workers.  The Service operates 7 days per week in clinic settings across the Borough; also joint assessments are undertaken with Community Clinicians including Nursing Homes and Adult Community Nursing Teams as required.
