Urgent and Emergency Care Nurse | University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust

The Urgent and Emergency care pathways as part of wider Integrated Neighbourhood Teams offers an exciting opportunity to provide acute, unplanned care in patients’ homes, avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions and supporting early discharge.

You will work as part of a wider multidisciplinary team to deliver safe, effective, and personalised care to patients who are acutely unwell but can be managed within their usual place of residence. This includes clinical assessments, urgent catheter support, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and supporting recovery in the community.

• Act as a role model for other staff and students demonstrating high standards of practice and professional conduct.
• Work without direct supervision and problem‑solve with a solution‑focused mindset.
• Assess and close trauma wounds using steri‑strips and skin adhesives as clinically appropriate.
• Demonstrate highly technical and/or practical skills to ensure optimum patient management, including IV medication administration, venous cannulation, venepuncture, management and care of mid and PICC lines, complex patient monitoring, equipment management and point‑of‑care testing.
• Utilise and ensure others utilise IT systems to secure accurate and timely patient data.
• Manage expected (and occasionally unexpected) clinical events requiring high but unpredictable levels of physical effort according to patient dependency/clinical need, escalating to a senior member of staff where appropriate.
