Nurse advisor
|
Our client is an organisation which shares one of the major goals of the NHS; to assure and improve the quality of patient care, by supporting the NHS in the delivery of best clinical practice through the effective implementation of innovative healthcare programmes. Most of our support activities are focused in Primary Care, in line with the increasing move towards a primary care led NHS. They usually comprise appropriately trained and qualified NMC registered nurses working as temporarily seconded employees of a General Practice. The role of Nurse Advisers varies within health management programmes, but can include: - The raising of awareness of a specific disease amongst practice staff through appropriate education and support Support for the implementation of local or national best clinical practice guidelines through a process of clinical audit, patient review, reports and feedback to practice staff and practical change management plans Support and education for patients and carers, including patient counselling and patient compliance with treatment Linking hospital care to the care of patients within the community Direct involvement in the support and care of individual patients within the community Although INS receives its funding from industry sponsorship, ie its customers are the major pharmaceutical companies, it aims to complement the activities of the NHS via the effective implementation of transparent, evidence-based health management programmes delivered by Nurse Advisers. Our client offers Nurse Adviser programmes to a customer base of the top 30 ethical pharmaceutical companies and the NHS (PCOs and PCTs), through a variety of projects within primary and secondary care.  Job DetailsYou'll be working in a team made up of other Nurse Advisers - and running projects or programmes as outlined above. These programmes can cover a wide geographical area where you will work across a number of different practices or hospitals. The sites you work in will change over time as you complete one project centre and move to another. Some of the variety will come from the different people and centres that you are visiting - this poses different opportunities and challenges to those of mainstream nursing. The role of the Nurse Adviser is largely autonomous. You have to manage your own workload and you are given a lot of responsibility. You will need to liaise with the sponsor company medical representative to help identify and prioritise centres, as well as planning and organising your own diary to report back on daily work. Driving can be a major part of the job and it is not uncommon to spend up to two hours travelling to a centre. It is a job for those who work hard and are genuinely self-motivated. However, you are still part of a team, you will talk to your colleagues regularly on the phone and usually meet every couple of months. The normal working hours are 8.30am until 5pm. However, it is a field-based role and, in reality, this often means more hours - particularly while you are learning the job (typically, the first 3 months). It's like any other professional job - there is a lot of learning in the first 3 months, including geography, disease area, IT/ Communications systems and, of course, how to be a really successful Nurse Adviser QualificationsThe job of the Nurse Adviser involves educating patients, GPs and other healthcare professionals, auditing records, making treatment recommendations, and monitoring /changing treatment behaviours - most Innovex projects are within primary care It's a hugely different job to being a Nurse - you need the same commitment and interest in healthcare, but you also need to be able to build high-level working relationships (GPs and customers), be very self motivated (much of the time is spent on your own), and have an interest and willingness to understand and work within the commercial world (the pharmaceutical companies are your customers) Training and Development are key components of a role - there is a training team dedicated to the Nurse Adviser teams and there is a structured career pathway that provides for you to grow and develop within other parts of the organisation Skills/Experience Benefits |
