QEUH Adult theatres are fast paced theatres which continually change and develop. They operate 27/7 and perform emergency and elective surgery in all specialities including, laparoscopic Robotic, renal transplant, ENT, Gynaecology, vascular and many more. As the QEUH is the West of Scotland Major Trauma Centre orthopaedics are also involved in this service. Orthopaedic theatres require strong leadership and specialist knowledge to facilitate and manage the complex procedures carried out at the QEUH.
We are looking for 3 Senior staff members to work in our orthopaedic elective theatres and our orthopaedic trauma theatres. The post holders would have the skills to team lead within the orthopaedic theatres. The post holders will work closely with both SCN’s for Trauma and Elective surgery and the wider MDT to ensure efficiency and cost effective use of resources without compromising care. There is a need for these posts to ensure that the theatres run efficiently and effectively with a focus on patient care, governance and safety.

The Orthopaedic CN/CODP’s would provide effective leadership and specialist knowledge to ensure high quality care is delivered and that nursing and service developments are taken forward to ensure we continue to provide excellent standards of care. These senior posts would support junior staff and students and ensure that there was ongoing training within the orthopaedic service and also as part of the wider West of Scotland Major Trauma Centre.
They will deputise for the SCN’s in their absence and taking responsibility for some of the attendance management processes in their absence.
