Main duties of the job
We are a Teaching Hospital full of hard working and dedicated staff providing community and hospital services across the Morecambe area - an area covering a thousand square miles across south Cumbria and north Lancashire.
We are absolutely committed to making the Trust 'a great place to be cared for and a great place to work' through the delivery of the highest possible standards of compassionate care, as well as our research in education strategy to provide the very best patients and staff experience.
Our key values are compassion, dignity, respect and working in partnership with our staff, volunteers and partner organisations.
It is fair to say that it is the people that make our Trust what it is, and we are immensely proud of all our teams across the bay. We want to work with people who champion our vision and values. During the interview and selection process we will explore your awareness of how you demonstrate the trust vision, values and our behavioural standards framework.
Working for our organisation
We operate from three main hospitals-Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.
FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.
WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
