Alternatively, you will be on the Staff Nurse Development Programme and will be seeking a second year placement within ITU nursing. You should have good communication, team working and interpersonal skills and should also be able to work under pressure, learn quickly and contribute positively. You should have a genuine interest in hyperbaric medicine. Evidence of continued professional development would be an advantage.

A considerable amount of training and investment will be given to you and as a condition of your appointment you will study a RGU accredited two year programme of education in ITU nursing in which you are required to ‘pass’. You will also undertake a detailed programme of training which will equip you as a competent member of the hyperbaric nursing team.

If you would like to know more about the hyperbaric team or the work within hyperbaric/ITU, then please phone us for an informal chat on extension 53264/53865. As this is a combined post, an informal visit of the hyperbaric chamber is recommended if you have never seen it and we can even arrange a guided tour of ITU!!

We look forward to meeting you soon and welcoming you to the hyperbaric team.
