Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part time Band 6 Specialist Nurse in Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), to cover maternity leave. These are a group of complex respiratory diseases, characterised by scarring and inflammation of the lungs. You will work within a multidisciplinary team including consultants, radiologists, pharmacists, admin team and community respiratory teams.

Main duties of the job

The role requires you to support patients from diagnosis, through treatment to the palliative phase, advising with palliative care services to ensure continuity of care.

The role will enable you to transfer, apply and develop your nursing knowledge and skills to ensure the quality of care for this group of respiratory patients.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication and organisational skills who has a passion for respiratory medicine and wants to learn more about ILD and LAM.

Working for our organisation

Nottingham is the hub for Interstitial Lung Disease so we care for patients across the East Midlands including Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Staffordshire. You will be based at Nottingham City Hospital and will be responsible for symptom management and managing the counselling and monitoring of specialist drugs for patients in the respective areas.

As a specialist nurse you will review patients within both in-patient and out-patient settings. To provide advice, perform investigations and monitor treatment, assess for oxygen therapy, provide information regarding community support and pulmonary rehabilitation.
