Ward 23 - MKUH
Ward 23 is a 40 bedded emergency surgical ward. We look after patients from a range of specialties including:
• Trauma
• General, Surgery and Urology
• Ear, Nose and Throat (both emergency and elective)
As such, the patients we look after are very diverse and a variety of different skill sets are needed to look after them - no day is ever the same! This will give you the opportunity to put all the skills you already have to good use and learn new ones
We are a friendly and dynamic team, who support our patients and each other in equal measures. Nursing is a hard job (we are no different) and requires commitment.
What our patients say about us:
• “Ward 23 showed nothing but kindness, respect and compassion”
• “We were greatly impressed by every aspect of care and attention our Mum received during her stay”
• “All staff caring and understanding, a credit to MKUH and the NHS”
What we say about the ward:
• “Everybody on the team is lovely, whether you are here for one shift, one week or all the time you are part of the team – you’re in it with us!”
• “We have a close working relationship with the MDT – physiotherapy, occupational therapy…everyone”
• “It will leave you feeling exhausted by the end of the shift – but we love what we do and wouldn’t change it”
• “Members of the wards senior team are “home grown” with plenty of development opportunities available to all staff”
