Working for us

Our main outpatient departments are based in Freeman Hospital and the Royal Victoria Infirmary.

We also have tertiary centres in order to bring outpatient care closer to home.

Collectively our departments see on average 280,000 patients annually.

The clinics within our outpatient departments are multi-specialty.

For many patients the outpatient department is the only contact they have with the hospital. Therefore, patient care and customer care is our highest priority.

Working in one of our busy outpatient departments will give you opportunity to gain experience in many specialties and develop excellent communication and customer care skills.

It will also equip you with patient flow management skills, and give you an excellent opportunity to work with a large multidisciplinary team.

Shift Patterns:

Monday – Friday 8am to 6pm

Staff Training:

You will be supported with internal training regarding clinic management. As there are multiple specialities working within outpatients there is opportunity to access training through the specialist nurses working within the clinics.

We support staff development through the Trust’s appraisal and personal development plans.

We also have an outpatients’ preceptorship training pack, which covers all elements of outpatient nursing.
