An exciting opportunity has arisen for a band 6 Nurse to join the Wessex Rapid Investigation Service (RIS).  

RIS is a fully virtual service, covering the Wessex region (Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight), offering a cancer fast-track pathway to patients experiencing non site-specific symptoms which might be explained by an underlying diagnosis of cancer.  

In conjunction with the senior nursing team and GP colleagues, you will be responsible for triaging referrals, completing a full patient history via the telephone, deciding on most appropriate next steps, and coordinating care as appropriate.  You will be responsible for presenting your patients at the virtual MDT, and making onward referrals where required.

The successful candidate will be given full training to enable a rapid and seamless approach, so that all patients are cared for as effectively and efficiently as possible.  You will be well supported in this role, and we would look to reinforce your development with the HTPA and DADM modules as required.
