You will also provide personalised end-of-life care for patients and their carers.

  Main duties of the job

  This is a community-based Registered Nurse role with vacancies across multiple locations across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, delivering high-quality nursing care in patients' homes and other community settings. This includes first-contact care such as acute assessment, nursing diagnosis, treatment and referral. You will also provide palliative care, focusing on symptom management, assessment of acute symptom onset, and compassionate support for both patients and their families or carers. In addition, the role encompasses continuing care, including intermediate care, rehabilitation, and the management of chronic conditions. A key element of the position also includes contributing to public health by supporting health protection and promotion programmes aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities across the community.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
