  We are offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced Renal Nurse.

  Bradford is a rapidly developing diverse and multicultural city with easy access to the major cities of Leeds and Manchester and close proximity to the Yorkshire Dales. Renal services in Bradford are provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes doctors, nurses (including specialist nurses for diabetes, advanced kidney disease, dialysis, dialysis access, dialysis education and renal transplantation), dietitians, pharmacists, psychologists, dialysis technicians, research nurses, a clinical audit officer and a cultural and health improvement officer. The service continues to grow and currently supports a dialysis cohort of 300 patients and a transplant cohort of 420 patients.

  Main duties of the job

  Dialysis services include peritoneal dialysis, home haemodialysis and in-centre haemodialysis. Our main haemodialysis unit is situated in Horton Wing at St Luke's Hospital and is undergoing a major reconfiguration to provide additional side room capacity, Shared Care, and an in situ simulation training facility. There is a satellite haemodialysis unit at Skipton Hospital, 20 miles to the north of Bradford, with future plans for its relocation and expansion. We have a dedicated acute haemodialysis facility for inpatients at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI) with plans for this to be expanded and to include a new isolation facility.

  We now have a dedicated renal ward, home therapies area and a renal day care facility to support patient assessment, investigation and treatment at BRI

• 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.
