Nursing
Christie nurses are committed to ensuring
excellent patient experience through the delivery of high quality,
patient-centred care that ensures patient safety, clinical
effectiveness & efficiency. This is achieved by ensuring that
the nursing workforce is highly skilled, flexible, innovative, and
fit for purpose.
Our dedicated nursing workforce constantly strives
to develop the necessary skills, competencies and expertise to
deliver excellence in oncological care. In turn, we are committed
to involving nurses in decision-making and supporting them to
develop best clinical practice.
The service is led by our executive director of nursing and
governance
Nursing is operationally managed by the lead nurses within our
clinical divisions - each supported by their own teams of modern
matrons, senior nurses and ward managers. Patient care is further
enhanced by a large number of nurses working in specialist and
advanced roles, complimented by a number of assistant
practitioners.
It is essential that care delivery responds to and reflects
national mandates and standards as they emerge, including
conforming to national practice standards for nursing.
Monitoring and evaluating nursing performance is integral to the
quality assurance process and therefore Christie nurses utilise a
range of performance measures to re-assure patients of care
quality, and inform areas of practice that require further
development or where there is a need/scope for improvement.
Divisional nurse managers, the corporate nursing team and
colleagues within our education directorate are sources of support
to enable Trust nurses to achieve all of this. They also provide
assurances to our board and commissioners in respect of nursing
quality at the Christie.
The Christie provides clinical placements for nursing students,
which are very positively evaluated. Placements are co-ordinated by
our education & training directorate in collaboration with the
clinical divisions.
