Main Responsibilities

In this role, you'll play a vital part in managing wound and ulcer care for patients with complex systemic conditions, including diabetes, vascular disease, and systemic inflammatory disorders, as well as those with multiple comorbidities. You'll also take the lead in new patient clinics, nail surgery assessment clinics, high-risk foot clinics, and basic MSK assessments.


As part of a collaborative and supportive team, you'll have the chance to develop strong professional links across key care pathways, including multidisciplinary teams, vascular specialists, orthopaedics, and community nursing.


Clear and effective communication is key in this role. You'll need to convey information in an understandable way to patients, ensuring they feel informed and involved in their treatment. Using a range of communication techniques--including motivation, persuasion, and negotiation--you'll encourage patient cooperation to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes.


Additionally, you'll have the exciting opportunity to take part in a variety of specialist clinical rotations, gaining valuable experience while providing expert care to both adults and children.




The Ideal Candidate

You will have or soon have a professional degree of equivalent in Podiatry and current professional registration with the HCPC as a Podiatrist.


As you will be expected to visit patients in the community so a driving license and access to a car is an

essential

requirement for this post.


While not essential, having Diabetic Foot Module or Vascular Training is desirable, as well as having previous NHS setting experience. .
