Prince of Wales Hospital - Clinical Nurse Consultant Grade 2, Chronic Kidney Disease & Renal Vascular Access
To be considered for this position you must be an employee of NSW Health and its Affiliated Health Organisations.
The Role
The vision for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is 'exceptional care, healthier lives'. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it. The Prince of Wales Hospital is a major teaching hospital based in Sydney's eastern suburbs that serves all of New South Wales.
We are affiliated with the University of NSW, one of the premier medical teaching facilities in Australia. This assists us to provide excellence in care in conjunction with our commitment to clinical teaching and medical research.
The Nursing and Midwifery - Strategy for Transforming Person Centred Cultures guides our profession in the development of effective person-centred practice and healthful cultures within SESLHD. We advocate for shared decision-making, collaborative relationships, openness, respect, compassionate, person-centred leadership, and supporting innovative practices.
Nursing vision for POWH is 'Transforming Person-Centred Care Together'. This approach to all nursing practices ensures we collaborate on all aspects of healthcare, inclusive of staff, placing the person at the centre of shared decision making underpinned by respect, mutual understanding and facilitated choice.
As the Clinical Nurse Consultant in SESLHD, you will contribute to POWH Renal Service by providing clinical service, consultancy, leadership, research, education, service planning and management. Our aim is to improve the health and well-being of patients with chronic kidney disease. We care for and support people with chronic renal disease from the moment they are diagnosed, which includes education, dialysis in hospitals and communities, kidney transplants, and ongoing support and care until the end of their lives.
As the CKD and Vascular Access CNC, you will use your significant expertise and qualifications to provide clinical leadership, coordination, consultation for CKD management and dialysis access in acute, satellite, and home dialysis units. You will map the CKD patient's journey to support treatment options, which includes triaging referrals, providing education, and arranging referrals for surgical consultations. You are responsible for scheduling patients and conducting CKD Clinics and Renal Vascular Access Clinic. You will ensure patients receive timely assessments, planning, and follow-up care. The CNC plays an important role in promoting home dialysis for eligible patients and encourages patients to pursue home dialysis by providing detailed information on the topic.
As the CNC you will develop, implement, and support quality improvement activities and research projects around CKD and dialysis vascular access particularly within a clinical risk management framework consistent with evidence-based practice and customer focused outcomes. You will be responsible for ongoing clinical supervision processes for Registered Nurses and deliver education to patients, carers and staff in a range of settings. As well as maintain your clinical and professional skills and actively participate in state and national working parties.
You will analyse current practices, evaluate the impact of new directions, initiate strategic changes to improve the delivery of care and optimise outcomes.
