Job overview
The post holder will be responsible for ensuring the provision of compassionate, safe and high-quality care delivery of all patients in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards. A Medical Day Case Unit provides planned treatments and procedures that avoid overnight hospital stays. It manages patients needing regular care such as ascitic drain infusions for liver disease (draining fluid and giving albumin), high-volume IBD treatments like biologic infusions, IV steroids, or iron, and venesection clinics for conditions like haemochromatosis or polycythaemia vera (removing blood to control iron levels or red cell count). This helps deliver safe, specialist-led care, reduces hospital admissions, and supports patients with chronic conditions efficiently in an outpatient setting.
