Nurses wanted for inpatient beds service at new Brackley medical centre and community hospital

Nurses are needed at the new medical centre and community hospital in Brackley ahead of its scheduled opening later this year.

A team of band five nurses will help shape and deliver the inpatient beds service at the newly-built facility on Northampton Road.

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) will run the service alongside others at the site where a GP surgery will soon open after relocating.

Community hospital inpatient beds service development facilitator Vanessa Cross said, “We’re really excited to start delivering the inpatient beds service in a brand new purpose-built facility in Brackley, meaning that patients in the south of the county can be treated closer to home, their families and friends.

"We’re going to need a strong team who are passionate about making sure we give our patients high quality, compassionate care, whilst also getting the new service embedded.”

The community hospital inpatient beds service will be similar to three other services NHFT runs across the county at Isebrook Hospital in Wellingborough, Danetre Hospital in Daventry, and Corby Community Hospital.

They provide specialist care for adults needing medical, physical or specialist rehabilitation, for example after a stroke or brain injury.

NHFT was named the Health Service Journal's 'trust of the year' in 2018 and has been rated 'outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for the past two years.

Recruitment business partner Sarah Clarke added, “NHFT is a great trust to work for.

"We know that in order to deliver the best possible care to our patients, we also need to support our staff, and the trust has received national and international recognition for our work on staff wellbeing and engagement.

"Our excellent quality care is reflected in our 'outstanding' CQC rating, and we’re looking forward to working with the people of Brackley and the surrounding area to bring our care and expertise to this part of the county.”
