The University Hospital of Hartlepool is hosting an open day event for experienced scrub nurses and operating department practitioners on Saturday 22 June, from 10am to 2pm.
The open day will welcome skilled professionals, providing a unique opportunity to explore the hospital’s facilities, meet the surgical team and also learn about career opportunities and current jobs on offer.
The open day will feature tours of the operating theatres and a chance to meet staff to learn more about the team’s commitment to professional development and excellence in patient care.
Early this year, the hospital which is operated by North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, was awarded surgical hub status. The NHS England accolade means the hospital will offer a dedicated service for people needing non-urgent surgery including:
- Orthopaedic operations such as hip and knee replacements
- Gynaecology procedures
- Breast procedures
Senior Nurse Deborah Harris said: “This is a fantastic team. We pride ourselves on being supportive and working together in order to provide every patient with great care.
“The open day is a chance for scrub nurses and operating department practitioners to meet us, get a feel from the department and hopefully submit an application to come and work alongside us.”
The open day is an excellent opportunity for experienced scrub nurses and operating department practitioners to discover the vibrant professional community and cutting-edge medical practices that take place every day at University Hospital of Hartlepool’s elective surgical hub.
Theatre sister Linda Robinson said: “I absolutely love working here. I started off as a scrub nurse and I’m now a theatre sister. So you can climb up that ladder here. It’s so exciting!”
