A&E Nurses
For many patients, A&E is the point at which they first enter a hospital, and thus A&E nurses tend to be the first staff they come into contact with. This makes A&E nurses an essential part of the medical care team, as they can set the tone for the entire experience that a patient has whilst they are under care. Moreover, A&E nurses also provide vital support across the A&E department and can be called upon to deal with a range of actions. With this comes a great degree of pressure and responsibility, as many of the patients they will deal with are in a critical state, meaning that they need the most professional and attentive care possible. Their roles and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Maintaining a high standard of care in A&E departments.
- Liaise with relevant teams to report any initial lab findings back to the A&E doctors.
- Work with doctors and specialist teams to keep patients and their families updated with progress.
- Make any relevant arrangements for patient care.
- Developing close relationships with patients and staff.
- Assist doctors with triage work and checking in on patients.
